| Beschrijving voorzijde | The characteristic Ujjaini symbol occupies the central field, formed by a cross-like junction connecting four concentric circle motifs, each comprising an outer ring and an inner pellet, positioned at the cardinal points. The device is rendered in low relief on a broad, irregular flan typical of hammered copper coinage of the period. The symbol is strongly associated with the city of Ujjain and is one of the most recognisable emblems of ancient Indian numismatics. No legend or inscription is present; the field is otherwise plain. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A frontal standing figure of the triple-headed deity Shiva is depicted in the centre of the field, the three faces rendered schematically in the style typical of early Indian copper coinage. The figure's arms are outstretched or folded, with drapery indicated by incised lines at the lower body. Flanking and surrounding the deity are secondary symbols associated with Shaivite iconography: a chakra (discoid wheel), a tree motif, and a fish-tank or rectangular tank symbol, distributed within the field. The design is executed in bold, somewhat crude relief characteristic of die-struck hammered issues of the Ujjain region in the late pre-Christian era. No inscription or legend is present. |
