| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized deity or symbolic figure rendered in a bold, archaic relief characteristic of medieval Indian hill-state coinage. The design is surrounded by a series of decorative foliate or vegetal elements arranged around the periphery of the flan. The execution is typical of the hammered, hand-struck technique employed in the Kangra hill kingdoms, with the design showing a circular motif with a central raised boss at its core. The legends or inscriptions, if present, are rendered in Sharada or Devanagari script and are partially legible due to the irregular flan. The overall style reflects the distinctive artistic conventions of the Rajput hill-state mints of the Western Himalayas. |
