Two varieties are distinguished in this type,—Variety A, where the king on the obverse stands upright and Kārtikeya on the reverse is three-fourths to left, and variety B, where the king is slightly stooping and Kārtikeya is facing to front. Variety A is more common than variety B. On one coin published by Dr. H. Sastri, the king on the obverse is seen standing with his legs crossing each other.⁵
