| Obverse description | Stylized recumbent bull facing left in the central field, rendered in a schematic, highly abstracted manner characteristic of post-Shahiya Ghurid coinage derived from earlier Hindu Shahi prototypes. Pellets are visible in the field adjacent to the animal's body. The design is enclosed within a beaded border, though strike irregularities cause portions of the border to fall off the flan. |
