| Reverse description | The reverse bears a two-line Nagari legend reading 'rama / rama', rendered in bold, deeply struck characters that fill the field of the flan. The lettering is arranged horizontally across the coin in two registers, with the sacred name of Rama appearing twice as a devotional invocation. A small ornamental device or floral motif is visible between the two lines of text. The script is characteristic of the Telugu-Nagari style employed on Vijayanagara-period copper issues. |
