| Reverse description | The reverse bears a three-line Tamil legend in bold, raised characters arranged within the central field of the irregularly shaped flan. The inscription reads 'கொ / னெரி / ராயன' (Konerirayan), identifying the issuing feudatory chief. The lettering is deeply struck in a robust, archaic Tamil script style characteristic of late 15th-century Vijayanagara copper coinage, with the flan exhibiting the rough, uneven edges typical of hammered production. |
