| Obverse description | A female deity, identified as Sri Bhogini, depicted seated in padmasana (lotus position) atop a lotus flower, rendered in a stylized, archaic manner characteristic of early Licchavi coinage. The figure is shown frontally with arms extended, the whole design enclosed within a beaded or dotted border. The legend 'Sri Bhogini' appears in early Brahmi script in the field. The crude, hand-struck fabric of the flan gives the design an irregular, deeply-struck appearance. |
