| Beschrijving keerzijde | Reverse bears a multi-line Nagari (Devanagari) inscription arranged in horizontal registers divided by ruled lines, reading the royal epithet and name 'Sri Pratapa Devaraya', identifying the issuing ruler Devaraya I of the Vijayanagara Empire. The legend is rendered in early Nagari script characters, boldly struck in the field. The inscription occupies the full face of the coin within a plain border, with individual characters clearly formed despite the irregular hammered flan. This type of epigraphic reverse is characteristic of early Vijayanagara gold pagoda coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Devaraya I's reign was defined almost immediately by military pressure — the Bahmani Sultanate under Firuz Shah Bahmani defeated him in 1406, extracting a humiliating treaty that included the cession of the Tungabhadra doab and a forced matrimonial alliance. Gold coinage continued to flow from Vijayanagara's mints throughout, partly because the empire's control over the Deccan trade routes and the Bellary gold-producing region gave it bullion reserves that political setbacks alone could not drain.
The half pagoda denomination served actual transactional use in market trade rather than functioning purely as a prestige issue.
