| Obverse description | Irregular flat field bearing multiple punch-marked symbols applied at different orientations, characteristic of late Mauryan karshapana coinage of the 2nd century BC. A prominent sun or radiate symbol with diverging rays is visible at the upper centre of the flan, accompanied by a six-armed or taurine symbol to the left and additional smaller banker's marks or royal punches distributed across the field. The symbols are incuse, each applied individually by separate dies, resulting in the overlapping, asymmetric arrangement typical of punch-marked coinage. No legends or inscriptions are present; the iconographic vocabulary is purely symbolic. |
