Reverse description Central field dominated by a large Lakshmi or deity figure seated or standing above a railed platform, flanked by dotted circular symbols and a stupa or chaitya motif, all rendered in the schematic hammered style characteristic of early Kuninda coinage. A Buddhist railing pattern occupies the lower register, with dotted border elements framing the composition. The Brahmi legend 'Mahadevasya' appears in the field, invoking the great deity. The reverse design reflects the syncretic religious iconography — combining Buddhist and Shaivite elements — typical of the Kuninda monetary tradition.
