| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a tree-in-railing motif, a common sacred symbol found on early Indian coinage of the period. The tree, likely representing the Bodhi or similar sacred tree, is shown schematically enclosed within a railing or enclosure, rendered in low relief. The design is stark and iconic, typical of the symbolic vocabulary employed by the early Satavahana rulers. The field is otherwise plain, and the overall execution reflects the rudimentary die-cutting style of circa 1st century BC Deccan coinage. |
