| Reverse description | An elephant is depicted in right profile at the center of the field, with a trident (trishula) symbol positioned before it. The design is enclosed within a circular Brahmi legend reading 'Bhagavata mahadevasa rajarana'. The elephant is a common motif in ancient Indian coinage symbolizing royal power and auspiciousness, while the trident is an attribute of Shiva, reflecting the Shaivite religious affiliation of the Audumbara rulers. The reverse design is struck in the typical irregular hammered style of the 1st century BC northwestern Indian tribal coinage. |
