| Reverse description | Central device depicts a standing royal or divine figure, likely a king or deity, shown frontally in a formal hieratic pose with arms extended or holding attributes, rendered in the stylized manner of late post-Gupta coinage. To the right of the central figure, a Brahmi legend is visible, arranged in a vertical or stepped format within the field. Additional subsidiary figures or symbols may flank the central device, consistent with Karkota dynastic iconographic conventions. The design is executed in hammered relief on an irregular flan, with the legends partially visible due to the coin's worn and patinated condition. The overall style reflects the transitional artistic vocabulary between Gupta imperial and early medieval Kashmiri numismatic traditions. |
