| Obverse description | Central figure of Vishnu standing facing, holding a sword in his left hand, flanked by dotted symbols and a star; a lotus flower appears below the deity. A forked ribbon encircling the central device bears bilingual legends in Tamil and Telugu scripts — Tamil reading 'Kaal varakan' and Telugu reading 'Kaal varahan', both signifying 'Quarter Varahan'. The entire composition is enclosed within a double beaded circle, lending the design a formal, ceremonial character consistent with Madras Presidency coinage of the early nineteenth century. |
