Reversbeschreibung	The reverse displays a single punch-marked symbol, appearing as a compact, roughly square or rectangular device with internal geometric detail, struck off-center on the irregular flan. The symbol is rendered in the abbreviated, schematic manner typical of ancient Indian city-state bronze issues of the 2nd century BC. The surrounding field is plain and undecorated, exhibiting the characteristic rough texture and green patination of an excavated bronze. No legend or inscription is present. The strike is shallow and slightly diffuse, consistent with hand-hammered production.

Zusätzliche Informationen	Kurara was a minor city-state authority operating within the broader punch-marked coin tradition of post-Mauryan India, a period when central imperial control had fragmented and local powers began asserting independent issue rights. These bronze karshapanas are among the more obscure civic issues of the era, with Kurara's identification itself dependent on punch-mark symbol analysis rather than any explicit inscription.
