| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylized bust of the king facing right, rendered in the debased late Gupta manner characteristic of western silver drachms. The effigy displays a prominent eye, simplified facial features, and vestiges of a headdress or crown indicated along the upper rim. The design shows strong Saka-Kshatrapa artistic influence, with the portrait reduced to near-schematic form typical of Skandagupta's silver coinage. The flan is irregular and the relief is shallow, consistent with hand-struck hammered production. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A fire altar depicted in schematic form at center, flanked by attendant figures, following the standard iconographic programme inherited from the Western Kshatrapa coinage. A Brahmi legend encircles the central device, recording the king's titles and name. The design elements are compressed and stylized, characteristic of the debased western drachm series issued under Skandagupta. The flan is irregular and the strike somewhat flat, as is typical of this hammered series. |
