| Obverse description | Bust of the Alchon Hun ruler Toramana facing right, rendered in a bold, stylized manner characteristic of late Kushano-Sasanian artistic tradition. The effigy displays a heavily adorned headdress with elaborate ribbons or plumes flanking the head, along with exaggerated facial features including a prominent mustache. To the right of the bust appears a small subsidiary symbol or attendant figure in the field. The overall style is schematic and vigorous, reflecting the die-cutting conventions of the Hadda mint workshop. |
