| Obverse description | Diademed bust of the ruler facing left, rendered in a stylized Indo-Parthian artistic tradition typical of Parataraja coinage. The portrait is set within a slightly raised central field against a granular, hammered flan. The diadem is visible across the brow, and facial features, though worn, retain the characteristic profile of the dynastic effigy. The design occupies the central portion of the irregularly shaped flan, with minimal peripheral detail. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a schematic standing figure, likely a royal or divine effigy, rendered in the crude but characteristic style of Parataraja hemidrachms. A swastika symbol appears in the field, serving as an auspicious emblem common to this series. Brahmi legend surrounds or accompanies the central motif, partially legible due to flan limitations and die wear. The overall composition reflects the degenerate Hellenistic artistic influence filtered through local Indo-Scythian and Parthian traditions. |
