| Obverse description | Central spoked wheel motif rendered in relief, surrounded by a circle of raised pellets forming an annular border. The wheel, a symbol of Buddhist and dynastic significance, features a domed hub at center from which multiple radiating spokes extend to the rim. The entire design is contained within the square flan, with groups of small pellets or globules arranged in the corners and along the sides of the field, characteristic of the Taxilan punch-marked tradition. |
