| Reverse description | A bull recumbent to left occupies the central field, depicted in the stylized South Indian hammered tradition with clearly defined body and head. Above the bull appears a large circular symbol, likely a conch or royal emblem associated with the Arya Chakravarti dynasty. Below the bull, a Tamil legend in bold characters extends across the lower portion of the field, all within a border of pellets. |
