| Beschrijving voorzijde | Nandi (the sacred bull), depicted in profile facing right, occupies the central field of the coin. The animal is rendered in a schematic, archaic style characteristic of early Indian copper coinage. A surrounding dotted border frames the design, forming a beaded circle around the central motif. The flan is irregular and shows typical casting characteristics of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Naga dynasty controlled a cluster of regional kingdoms across north-central India during the 3rd and 4th centuries, issuing their own copper and bronze coinage before Samudragupta's campaigns of conquest effectively dismantled their political independence — the Allahabad Pillar inscription records the Nagas among the defeated rulers absorbed into the expanding Gupta imperium around the 340s. The Narwar branch, seated at ancient Padmavati, was among the more prolific issuers within the family.
The Kakini was among the smallest denominations in the early medieval Indian weight system, placing this piece at the lower end of everyday transactional currency.
