| Obverse description | The obverse bears a Brahmi legend arranged across the field in multiple lines, reading 'Rajano Chutukulananda' (King Chutukulananda), executed in the characteristic early Brahmi script of the period. The inscription is the principal design element, occupying the majority of the flan, with individual aksharas rendered in low relief typical of hammered lead coinage of ancient India. The irregular flan exhibits the rough, uneven surface characteristic of cast and struck lead issues of the Ananda dynasty. The lettering is set within an unbordered field, consistent with the epigraphic style of early Deccan regional coinage. |
