| Reverse description | Central field bearing the Tamil legend 'Muddu Krishnappa', the regnal name of the issuing Nayak ruler, inscribed in Tamil script. The characters are arranged in the compact, bold style typical of Madurai Nayak copper kasu coinage, filling the reverse field. The irregular flan and slightly off-center strike are consistent with hammered manufacture of this series. |
