| Obverse description | Draped bust of king Vashishthiputra Siri Pulumavi facing right, depicted with tightly curled hair adorned with a beaded diadem or headband, rendered in the Indo-Greek portrait tradition. The effigy displays a stylized profile with pronounced facial features characteristic of late Satavahana coinage. A Brahmi legend encircles the bust within the field, identifying the ruler by name and royal epithet. The portrait is boldly struck on an irregular flan typical of hammered silver issues of the period. |
