| Obverse description | A humped bull (Nandi) recumbent to left occupies the central field, rendered in the stylized idiom characteristic of Shahi coinage. A rectangular altar or fire-shrine symbol is depicted behind the bull, with decorative scrollwork below. The Nagari legend 'Sri Samanta Deva' arcs prominently across the upper field in bold characters. Dotted border elements and star or pellet devices appear in the left field. The overall style is archaizing, consistent with the Hindu Shahi artistic tradition of the northwestern subcontinent. |
