| Reverse description | The reverse presents a Tamil inscription arranged in multiple lines across the central field, reading 'கச்சி வழங்கும் பெருமாள்' (Kacci Vazangum Perumal), meaning 'The great lord who rules Kacci (Kanchipuram)'. The legend is rendered in archaic Tamil script, deeply struck but partially obscured by surface corrosion and the rough texture of the hammered flan. The inscription references the Pandya king's suzerainty over Kanchipuram, a significant political claim of the period. No border or decorative elements are discernible around the inscription field. |
