| Reverse description | Plain field bearing a bold incuse cross-shaped mark, commonly identified as the 'bele' (cross) countermark, formed by two intersecting lines dividing the flan into four quadrants. This geometric device is characteristic of fractional gold fanams attributed to the Vijayanagara Empire and its successor states. The mark is deeply impressed and fills most of the available flan surface, with no surrounding legend or additional devices. |
