| Reverse description | Two-line Devanagari legend inscribed within a rectangular panel bordered by a beaded outer circle. The inscription reads 'Chalama Raya', identifying the issuing ruler of the Nayakas of Gingee. The lettering is boldly struck within the panel, with the upper and lower registers clearly delineated by horizontal lines, a format characteristic of South Indian Nayaka copper kasu issues. |
