| Obverse description | Multiple punch-marked symbols applied to the flat flan, featuring a bird perched atop a railing or architectural element in the upper field, accompanied by three standing deity figures arranged in a row across the lower register. The symbols are incuse, struck with characteristic punch-mark technique typical of post-Mauryan silver coinage from the Ujjain region. The field shows the irregular, slightly convex surface common to hand-struck karshapana flans of this period. The overall composition reflects the regional iconographic tradition blending aniconic and early figural religious symbolism. |
