Obverse
The bust of Kumāragupta I to right, wearing a cap; weak traces of a date(?) behind head; before head, ‘ΟΗΟΗΟ’ in Greek, which is a mere meaningless imitation.
Reverse
Garuḍa with a long neck; around, ‘paramabhāgavata mahārājādhirāja śrī kumāragupta mahendrādityaḥ’ (‘The most devout devotee, the Great King of Kings, his majesty, Kumāragupta’ in Brāhmī script).
