| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a stylized Newar script legend arranged in a cruciform or stepped architectural pattern, characteristic of Malla-period Nepalese dam coinage. The inscription reads 'Sri Sri Da La' in Pracalit (Newar) script, rendered in bold relief with horizontal and vertical strokes forming a decorative interlocked design. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped at the edges, as is typical of hammered bracteate issues of this series. The overall composition is compact and deeply struck, filling the small planchet. No figural motif or sword device is present, consistent with the 'Without sword' variant classification. |
