| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse depicts the royal equestrian effigy of Kumaragupta I, shown in profile mounted on a caparisoned horse prancing to the right, the king rendered in high relief in the characteristic Gupta artistic style. The rider is adorned with royal regalia and raises one arm, conveying imperial authority and martial prowess. A Brahmi legend encircles the field, reading the royal epithet attributing the king's invincible and victorious nature. The design is executed with the bold, fluid modeling typical of Gupta-period gold coinage, with subsidiary decorative elements visible in the field. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a finely rendered image of the goddess Lakshmi seated in lalitasana upon a throne or wicker seat, depicted frontally with elaborate ornamentation including a beaded necklace and headdress, her right hand raised in a gesture of benediction. To her right, a peacock — the vahana associated with this reverse type — stands in the field, referencing the Lakshmi-with-Peacock iconographic tradition unique to Kumaragupta I's coinage. A short Brahmi legend appears in the field, recording the king's honorific epithet. The goddess is modelled in the vigorous, sensuous style characteristic of Gupta imperial gold dinars, with bold relief and fine surface detail despite the irregular flan. |
