| Obverse description | Crude, schematic effigy of the king standing facing, rendered in a debased provincial style characteristic of Puri Kushana imitative coinage. The royal figure is depicted in frontal stance with arms extended, wearing typical Kushan royal attire, though detail is heavily stylized and worn. The overall workmanship reflects a local imitative tradition with significant debasement of the original Kushan type. Heavy patination and corrosion obscure finer details of the design. |

| Reverse description | Crude, schematic figure of a deity standing facing, executed in the debased imitative style typical of Puri Kushana copper coinage. The deity is depicted in a frontal stance with arms outstretched, consistent with Kushan divine iconography but rendered with simplified, provincial workmanship. The figure displays a rounded head treatment and broad body proportions characteristic of this imitative series. Surface encrustation and patination limit the legibility of finer iconographic attributes. |
