| Obverse description | Diademed bust of the king facing right, rendered in a crude yet distinctive hammered style typical of late Parataraja coinage. The effigy occupies the central field of the flan, with minimal surrounding legend. The portrait displays characteristic Indo-Parthian artistic influence, with facial features summarily executed within the confines of the small, irregularly shaped silver flan. |

| Reverse description | Four-line Brahmi inscription arranged horizontally across the reverse field, filling the entire flan. The legend, read in Brahmi script, records the king's name and lineage in a formulaic royal titulature, typical of Parataraja dynastic coinage. The inscription is crudely engraved, consistent with the hammered technique and small module of the issue. |
