| Reverse description | Plain copper reverse displaying a cluster of cursive, intertwined linear devices or degenerate symbols typical of the Samanta Deva Shahi half-jital series. The design appears to incorporate stylized forms possibly derived from earlier bull or rider motifs, reduced to near-abstract patterns through successive die copying. The flan is irregular and slightly scalloped at the edges, consistent with hand-cut planchet preparation. No legible inscription or border is present. The surface retains a dark patina with areas of metal flow and die weakness characteristic of hammered coinage of this period. |
