| Reverse description | The reverse displays an arrangement of pellets or dots in a group formation below a crescent or arch-like device, a design convention common to Hoysala and contemporaneous South Indian gold fanams. The pellet grouping, typically arranged in a triangular or rectangular cluster, occupies the lower portion of the flan, while a curved line or crescent symbol appears in the upper field. The surface is granular and irregular, consistent with the hammered technique employed for these small-denomination gold coins. A Kannada script inscription referencing 'Vira Raya' (ವೀರ ರಾಯ) is associated with this type. |
