| Obverse description | A deer depicted in profile walking to the right, rendered in a schematic, archaic style characteristic of early Indian tribal coinage. The animal's form is outlined in low relief against a flat, irregular flan, with details of the body suggested rather than finely modelled. The overall composition is centred within the available field. |

| Reverse description | A stylised solar symbol depicted as a rayed sun, rendered in the conventional punch-marked manner associated with early Indian tribal issues of the 1st century BC. The design occupies the centre of the reverse field, with radiating elements extending outward in a schematic fashion. The flan is irregular and the surface shows typical granular bronze texture. |
