| Obverse description | Mounted king advancing to the right on horseback, depicted in high relief in the characteristic Later Gupta style. The royal rider is shown in profile, seated firmly upon a caparisoned horse, with his right arm raised and holding what appears to be a weapon or flywhisk. The horse is shown in a prancing or walking gait, with detailed rendering of the mane and trappings. A small figure or attendant device appears in the lower right field. The composition fills the irregular flan in the bold, vigorous artistic tradition of the Gupta gold coinage. |
