| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field depicts a standing figure, likely a ruler or deity, rendered in low relief in the characteristic crude hammered style of South Indian medieval coinage. Above the figure, a legend in Tamil Grantha script curves across the upper portion of the flan. The overall composition is typical of Sambuvaraya dynastic issues, with the design occupying the majority of the flan within a plain border of pellets. Surface shows natural porosity and green patination consistent with the age and copper composition of the piece. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field features a bull standing to the right, rendered in bold low relief, a dynastic emblem characteristic of South Indian Hindu ruling families of the medieval period. A partial legend in Grantha script appears along the upper periphery of the flan, though partially worn and illegible. The bull motif is a recurring device on Sambuvaraya copper kasu issues and reflects the Shaivite religious affiliation of the dynasty. The flan is irregular and shows typical hammerwork flattening with pronounced surface porosity and earthen deposits. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Sambuvarayas were a subordinate chieftain lineage operating under Pallava and later Vijayanagara overlordship along the northern Tamil coast, centered around Padaiveedu. Their copper kasu issues are among the more poorly documented coinages of medieval South India — attribution to the dynasty itself took considerable scholarly effort, as the coins circulated in a region where multiple competing authorities struck nearly identical small coppers simultaneously.
