| Beschrijving keerzijde | Three-line Devanagari legend arranged within a plain rectangular panel occupying the central field of the coin. The inscription reads 'Sri Pra / ta pa Ha ri / Ha ra', referencing the royal epithet and name of the issuing ruler Hari Hara II. The lettering is bold and deeply struck in the characteristic Vijayanagara epigraphic style, with horizontal register lines separating each line of text. The flan is irregular, typical of hammered gold coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hari Hara II ruled Vijayanagara for nearly three decades and oversaw a significant expansion of the empire's territorial reach across the Deccan — his reign is one of the better-documented of the early dynasty, yet the coinage remains poorly studied in Western numismatic literature. The pagoda series served a functioning trade economy that connected the interior of the subcontinent with coastal markets trading everything from horses imported through Goa to textiles moving east.
The half denomination saw genuine circulation. Surface wear on surviving examples is typical evidence of active use in bazaar transactions, not ceremonial hoarding.
