| Reverse description | Reverse struck on an irregular copper flan, displaying Devanagari akshara legend in bold, deeply incuse characters occupying the central field. The inscription reads 'Cha' and 'Lama' in Devanagari script, rendered in the crude but legible style characteristic of Nayaka copper kasu issues. The characters are arranged vertically within a roughly defined border, with the surrounding field showing the granular, heavily oxidized surface typical of hammered South Indian base-metal coinage of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. |
