| Reverse description | The goddess Lakshmi seated in frontal posture upon a lotus throne, depicted in the round and heavily stylized manner characteristic of Later Gupta gold coinage. She is shown nimbate, with a lotus flower held in one hand, and adorned with jeweled ornaments. The figure retains the iconographic conventions of the earlier Gupta royal Lakshmi type, though rendered with less refinement. Brahmi legend in the field reading 'kramādi', interpreted as an epithet or title Kramaditya. |
