| 裏面の説明 | The reverse presents a stylised rendering of the chaitya-arch (hill and crescent) symbol above a two-line Brahmi inscription occupying the lower field, all contained within a dotted border. The chaitya motif, a recurrent emblem on Western Satrap coinage, is depicted as a series of stepped arches surmounted by a crescent or triratna symbol. Below, the Brahmi legend recording the ruler's name and titles is arranged in two registers, though heavily worn. The flat, compact composition and cursory execution of the design are typical of the debased potin issues attributed to the satrap Dāmasena. |

Dāmasena ruled as Western Satrap during a period when the dynasty was under sustained pressure from the early Gupta expansion and internal succession disputes. Potin — a low-grade alloy of copper, tin, and lead — was the material of last resort for small-denomination coinage, and its use here reflects the fiscal strain on satrap administrations that had once commanded silver in abundance. The Kshatrapa silver drachm series is well-documented; these potin fractions are not, and survive in far smaller numbers than their silver counterparts despite presumably higher mintage volumes for everyday transactions.
