Rev: wavy line, tree, five arched hill surmounted by two water-pots, a stylized treskelis with alternating damarus between prongs and a taurine.

Although the coin is uninscribed, its fabric and style match closely with city issues of Mahishmati, Tripuri and Madavika. In all probability, it was issued by yet another city-state of the Narmada valley.
