Beschrijving voorzijde	Highly stylized, schematic depiction of the deity Shiva accompanied by a bull (Nandi), rendered in the provincial Indo-Sassanian artistic tradition. The figures are executed in bold, linear relief with minimal detail, characteristic of the debased coinage of the Kota Kula principality. The composition occupies the full field of the flan, with no surrounding legend or border. The irregular, roughly circular flan exhibits the typical fabric of hammered copper-alloy issues of the period.

Beschrijving keerzijde	Central field bearing the distinctive Kota Kula dynastic symbol, flanked by two Shaivite emblems: a spoked wheel (chakra) with four spokes positioned to the left and a trident (trishula) to the right. The devices are rendered in schematic, linear relief consistent with the provincial hammered coinage of the Indo-Sassanian tradition. The flan is irregular in form, and the field is plain without any surrounding legend or decorative border. The overall design reflects the religious and dynastic iconographic conventions of the Kota Kula principality.
