| Obverse description | Roughly rectangular hammered copper flan bearing a Brahmi inscription in the field. The legend, reading 'sachabhada(sa)' — a genitive form referencing the issuing authority Satyabhadra — is rendered in early Brahmi characters arranged across the face of the coin. The surfaces exhibit natural patination consistent with ancient copper coinage, with the script remaining partially legible despite the irregular flan and worn fabric. The lettering is the primary design element, with no additional figural or symbolic devices apparent on this face. |
