| Obverse description | Stylized depiction of Varaha, the boar avatar of Vishnu, oriented to the right within the field. Vaishnavite religious symbols flank the central motif, including a trident (trishula) to the left and a chakra (wheel) positioned beneath the deity's foot. The design is rendered in a schematic, highly abstracted style characteristic of late Gujara-Pratihara silver coinage, with bold incuse lines defining the principal elements. The flan is irregular in shape, as typical of hammered issues of this period. |
