| Obverse description | Diademed and bearded royal bust facing right, wearing an elaborate crown with rising projections; streaming ribbons visible at the left shoulder, with a star device positioned above the ribbons. The portrait reflects the Sasanian-influenced artistic tradition of the Tokharistan region, with bold, stylized modeling of facial features. The field is plain, with no encircling legend. |

| Reverse description | The reverse field displays four dynastic tamgha symbols arranged in two registers of two, enclosed within a border of pellets. The upper pair of tamghas features trident-like forms with curvilinear elements, while the lower pair presents similar but slightly varied configurations, all rendered in the bold, schematic style characteristic of Hephthalite and Tokharistan coinage of the mid-6th to early 7th century. No inscriptions are present. |
