| Obverse description | Central field depicting a standing deer to the right, with a prominent swastika symbol to the left and a trishula (trident) to the right, both rendered in characteristic early Indian style. A railed tree or stupa motif appears in the lower field. The surrounding Brahmi legend reads 'Rajnah Kunindasa Amoghabhutisa Maharajasya', identifying the issuing king Amoghabhuti of the Kuninda dynasty. The overall design is executed in the crude but energetic hammered style typical of early northern Indian tribal coinage of the 2nd–1st century BC. |

| 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. |
