| 表面の説明 | Highly stylized and degenerate bust derived from the Sasanian royal effigy, facing right, rendered in a schematic Indo-Sasanian artistic tradition. The head is surmounted by a prominent crescent-and-pellet headdress, with the facial features reduced to abstract pellets and curves. A beaded arc frames the left side of the bust, while a series of horizontal bar-and-pellet elements fills the right field, representing a highly conventionalized form of the Sasanian fire altar attendant. The entire design is executed in bold relief with a surrounding border of pellets, characteristic of the Gadhaiya Paisa coinage. |

| 裏面の説明 | Strongly abstracted reverse derived from the Sasanian fire altar and attendant motif, now reduced to a series of geometric and pellet-based design elements. A large arc or crescent-form filled with a dense field of pellets dominates the upper portion of the coin, with diagonal bar elements below representing the degraded altar. A beaded border runs along the left arc of the flan, and stepped or striated lines to the right indicate the heavily stylized altar flame or attendant figure. The design reflects the progressive debasement of the Sasanian prototype through successive local imitation over multiple generations. |

The Gadhaiya Paisa tradition began as a direct imitation of Sasanian silver drachms — specifically the issues of Khusro II — which had flooded northwestern India through trade and conquest. Over successive generations of copying, the original fire-altar and portrait designs degraded through mechanical repetition into near-abstraction, a process so gradual that no single mint can be credited with the transformation. The Chavadas, ruling Gujarat before their displacement by the Solankis in the mid-10th century, issued these among the most stylistically degenerated of the type.
Billon composition reflects the dynasty's limited access to pure silver rather than a deliberate monetary policy.
