| 背面描述 | Seated figure of Lakshmi depicted frontally upon a lotus throne (kamalasana), rendered in low relief consistent with the hammered copper coinage tradition of the Kongu Chera dynasty. The goddess is shown in a formal frontal posture with stylized lotus elements visible beneath the figure. A beaded border partially encircles the design, framing the central motif within the irregular flan. The execution is bold but somewhat crude, characteristic of regional South Indian copper kasu issues of the period. |

| 附加信息 |
The Kongu Cheras were a regional power controlling territory around the Coimbatore region of Tamil Nadu, distinct from the ancient Chera kings of the Sangam period despite sharing the dynastic name. Their copper kasu coinage circulated in local markets and temple economies during the late medieval period, when small-denomination copper issues of this kind were largely ignored by chroniclers — which is precisely why the attributions remain contested among scholars today. M809.12 is a reference classification rather than a firmly excavated provenance.
