| Reverse description | The reverse presents a concave, deeply recessed field characteristic of hammered Nayaka kasu coinage, a result of the striking technique used on these small copper pieces. The surface is largely featureless, showing only faint, indistinct tool marks and natural flan irregularities with no coherent decorative or epigraphic design discernible. Heavy green and brown patination covers the entire surface. This type of blank or near-blank reverse is consistent with the known fabric of Thanjavur Nayaka kasu issues catalogued under MSI#780. |
