| Obverse description | The goddess Lakshmi seated facing in padmasana (lotus position), her legs crossed, depicted in a frontal hieratic posture typical of early Nepalese coinage. The figure is rendered in a bold, somewhat schematic style consistent with Licchavi-period artistic conventions, with the body occupying the central field of the flan. Traces of a surrounding legend in Brahmi script are present in the peripheral field, though heavily worn on this example. The overall design reflects strong Gupta-period iconographic influence in its representation of the auspicious deity. |
