| Obverse description | A humped bull (zebu) depicted in profile occupies the central field, accompanied by a sword or dagger device. The devices are rendered in low relief in the crude, bold style characteristic of Vijayanagara feudatory copper coinage. The flan is irregularly shaped, as typical of hammered issues of this period, with a granular surface showing natural patination. |
