| Reverse description | Central device features the Ujjain symbol — a cross with four circles at the terminals — flanked by a chaitya arch motif above and two wavy lines (representing water or the Narmada River) below, all standard reverse types for Satavahana silver drachmas. Additional symbols including a tree-in-railing and other auspicious dynastic emblems occupy the field in the conventional arrangement of this series. A Brahmi legend encircles the device reading 'Arana Vasithiputasa Siri Pulumavisa'. The overall composition is crowded and stylized, executed in the typical hammered technique with an irregular flan. The design reflects the strong Western Kshatrapa influence absorbed into later Satavahana coinage. |
