| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field dominated by a highly stylized anthropomorphic deity figure rendered in bold relief, depicted frontally in a seated or standing posture with globular body elements suggesting ornamental jewelry or attributes. The figure is flanked by attendant elements on either side, with the composition enclosed within a beaded border running along the coin's irregular periphery. The design reflects the debased Indo-Sassanian artistic tradition as adapted by the Gahadavala mint, with abstracted forms characteristic of early medieval north Indian coinage. The overall workmanship is bold and schematic, with deeply struck relief against a flat field. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a four-line Devanagari legend arranged within a quadrant framework of bold angular strokes, creating an interlocking geometric pattern across the entire field. The inscription reads 'Shri Mad Govinda Chandra Dev' in formal Devanagari characters, identifying the issuing ruler Govindachandra of the Gahadavala dynasty. The lettering is deeply struck in high relief with a characteristic squared, angular style typical of early twelfth-century north Indian epigraphic convention. Small pellets or ornamental stops appear at the margins of the design field. The coin's irregular flan edge is consistent with hand-hammered production of the period. |
