| Obverse description | Humped bull (zebu) seated left in the central field, rendered in a stylized manner characteristic of Shahi coinage. A Nagari legend reading 'Sri Khudavayakah' appears above the bull, identifying the royal title of the issuing ruler. The design is executed in low relief typical of hammered silver jitals of the period, with the inscription occupying the upper register of the flan. The overall composition reflects the syncretic Hindu-Buddhist artistic tradition of the Shahi dynasty. |
