| Obverse description | Elephant advancing left occupies the central field, rendered in the characteristic bold relief of early Indian coinage. An indradhvaja (standard surmounted by a crescent or wheel symbol) is positioned to the left of the elephant. A Brahmi legend reading 'pathadevasa' appears in the upper field, identifying the issuing authority. The design is contained within the roughly square flan typical of hammered issues from the Ayodhya region. |
