Obverse description	Standing figure of the king in frontal pose, depicted with arms outstretched and ornamental regalia, rendered in the stylized South Indian iconographic tradition. The royal figure stands on a decorative base or platform, flanked by attendant symbols or subsidiary figures in the field. The design exhibits the characteristic flat, linear treatment of Chola coinage, with bold relief typical of hammered silver issues. The surrounding border consists of a pellet or bead-and-reel ornamental ring defining the coin's periphery.
