| Reverse description | The reverse field features an array of Vaishnavite and auspicious symbols arranged across the die, accompanied by a two-line Sanskrit legend in Nagari script. The inscription reads 'srimad adi varaha', an honorific epithet invoking the sacred boar incarnation and conferring divine legitimacy upon the issuing ruler. The layout is characteristic of Gujara-Pratihara drachms, with symbols and legend occupying the full flan in a dense, schematic composition. The strike is irregular, consistent with hammered production methods of the ninth century. |
