| Obverse description | Within a linear circle bordered by a ring of raised pellets, an elephant facing left with uplifted tail occupies the central field, rendered in the characteristic stylised manner of Vijayanagara copper coinage. The Kannada syllable 'La' appears above the elephant, serving as an issuer's mark identifying the feudatory commander Lakkanna Dandanayaka. The overall design is bold and deeply struck, consistent with the hammered technique employed for Vijayanagara subsidiary coinage. |
