| Obverse description | Crowned royal effigy facing right, depicted in the late Kushano-Sasanian stylistic tradition. A solid sun symbol occupies the right field, while additional symbols of possible Hunnic or regional iconographic origin appear in the left field before the king. The portrait is rendered in a schematic, flat relief typical of hammered coinage of the post-Gupta northwestern Indian regional kingdoms. Brahmi script legends accompany the design. |

| Reverse description | A fire altar depicted in schematic relief at center, flanked on the left by a trident and on the right by a solar symbol, reflecting the syncretic religious iconography blending Shaivite and solar cult elements common to post-Gupta regional issues. A Brahmi legend surrounds or flanks the altar, identifying the issuing ruler. The reverse design follows a broad tradition derived from Kushano-Sasanian fire altar types as adapted by local dynastic workshops in Sindh. |
