| Obverse description | Bust of the ruler Narendra facing right, wearing a distinctive crested or winged helmet adorned with a crescent and flame finial, characteristic of Alchon Hunnic royal iconography. The effigy displays a heavily beaded or pearl-bordered neckline with stylized drapery. A vegetal or branch motif is visible to the right of the bust in the field. The overall style is a provincial adaptation of Sasanian royal portraiture rendered in a bold, somewhat schematic manner. The legend in Brahmi script appears in the field referencing the ruler's name and title. |
