| Obverse description | Crude hammered copper flan of irregular round form, displaying a bold symbolic device struck in high relief against a darkly patinated field. The central motif appears to be a stylized figure or deity rendered in the schematic, abbreviated style characteristic of South Indian Nayaka copper kasu coinage. The design is enclosed within a roughly incuse border, with weak peripheral areas typical of hand-struck issues. Surface exhibits heavy granular oxidation consistent with extended burial or circulation. |
