| Obverse description | The obverse depicts a standing royal figure, likely a stylized representation of the Chola king, rendered in the crude but characteristic hammered style of South Indian medieval coinage. The figure appears frontal, flanked by attendant figures or symbols, with a beaded border encircling the irregular flan. The overall composition is typical of Chola gold fanam issues, with bold but schematic figural imagery conveying regal authority. The relief is high and the design elements, though worn, retain the distinctive artistic conventions of the Chola mint tradition. |
