Reverse description Depiction of Lord Shiva standing in the central field accompanied by his sacred mount Nandi the bull, rendered in a schematic and provincial artistic style characteristic of early post-Kushan coinage of the northwestern Indian subcontinent. The figures occupy the main field with minimal surrounding detail, reflecting the crude die-cutting typical of local copper issues of the 1st–2nd century CE. No inscriptions or legends are present.
