Obverse description Stylized humped bull (zebu) depicted in the lower field, rendered in the debased Indo-Muslim artistic tradition. Above the bull, a horizontal line divides the field, with a row of dots forming a border along the upper edge. Nagari legend occupying the central and upper fields, reading 'Sri Mahamad Sam', flanked by a schematic dagger motif above. The overall design reflects the Ghurid adaptation of earlier Hindu Shahis bull-and-horseman coinage, with inscription elements replacing traditional iconographic details.
