| Reverse description | Central field bearing a Tamil inscription in two lines within a plain oval or cartouche border, rendered in the hammered technique characteristic of Nayaka copper kasu coinage. The legend reads 'Ramanappa' in Tamil script, identifying the issuing ruler, and is arranged across the available field of the irregular flan. The lettering is bold but somewhat worn and irregularly struck, consistent with the hand-struck production method of the period. No additional devices or decorative elements are present. The field surrounding the inscription shows the rough, uneven surface typical of hammered copper coins of this series. |
