| Obverse description | Highly stylized Indo-Sassanian bust facing right, derived from late Sasanian royal portraiture and rendered in a schematic, deeply pellet-ornamented manner. The effigy displays a prominent, elongated head surmounted by a degraded sun-and-crescent crown, with radiating lines suggesting a diadem or hair ribbons. The facial features are reduced to abstract relief forms, retaining the outline of a nose and brow ridge. The field is bordered by a continuous row of raised pellets, and flanking decorative devices — possibly remnants of attendant figures or floral sprays — appear to the left. No legible legend or inscription is present. |
