| Descrizione del dritto |
Depiction of the deity Shiva standing in the field, his matted hair (jata) rendered in high relief above his head. To his left, a prominent trishul (trident) is shown upright, serving as his principal divine attribute. To Shiva's right, the figure of Parvati appears seated or standing in close proximity, consistent with the Uma-Maheshvara iconographic tradition. The design is executed in a schematic, low-relief hammered style typical of later Nayaka copper coinage, with flan irregularities and surface patination obscuring finer details. |

| Descrizione del rovescio |
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. |
