| Reverse description | A bold cruciform grid divides the reverse into four quadrants, each containing a Kannada aksharas (syllabic character) rendered in raised relief. The cross-and-square framework is deeply struck and well-defined relative to the roughly shaped flan, presenting a geometric layout typical of Mysore Kingdom copper kasu coinage of the late 17th to mid-18th century. |

| Additional information |
The anonymous kasu issues of Mysore from this period fall within the reigns of several Wadiyar rulers, during which the kingdom expanded aggressively across southern India while maintaining its own parallel coinage system alongside Mughal-influenced currency. Attribution to specific rulers within this range remains unresolved, which is why the series carries the anonymous designation rather than a regal one.
