| Obverse description | Irregular lead flan bearing a partially legible Brahmi legend arranged around the central field. The inscription, fragmentary due to the crude fabric and wear, reads '[...]putasa Isamulana(da)[...]', likely a royal patronymic or dedicatory formula. The die-work is simple and provincial in character, consistent with local issues of the Satavahana sphere. The surface shows typical lead oxidation with a dark patina and irregular flan edges resulting from the primitive hammering process. |

| Reverse description | Plain or minimally decorated reverse with indistinct design elements, consistent with the crude hammered technique typical of lead regional issues from the Western Deccan in the first century CE. The surface is heavily worn and pitted, characteristic of the soft lead alloy, with no clearly legible inscription or identifiable symbol discernible. The flan edges are irregular and uneven, reflecting the rudimentary production methods of this provincial issue. |
