Obv: Goddess standing holding lotus, a deer to her left, altar in railing above its back and Shrivatsa between horns; brahmi legend Rajnah Kunindasya Amoghabhutisya Maharajasya. Rev: Composite symbol of six-arched hill, wavy line, Nandipada, Swastika, triangle-headed standard and tree-in-railing; kharoshthi legend Rana Kunidasa Amoghabhutisa Maharajasa around.

Extremely fine, Very rare

On this coin, the obverse legend in Brahmi is inscribed in good Sanskrit with '-sya' ending to each word. This variety is much rarer than other varieties of Kuninda coins, where the legend is in hybrid Sanskrit.
