Obverse description Stylized humped bull (zebu) depicted in profile facing right, rendered in a schematic, abstract manner characteristic of post-Gandharan coinage traditions. The animal's hump, body, and legs are indicated by bold, deeply struck lines within a beaded border encircling the coin's field. The design shows the influence of earlier Hindu-Shahi bull types adapted into the Khwarezmian coinage repertoire.
