| Obverse description | Deity, identified as Shiva, seated in padmasana (lotus posture) facing forward, with legs crossed and arms extended in a devotional attitude. The figure is rendered in a schematic, archaic style typical of Vijayanagara copper coinage, with broad shoulders and simplified facial features. The design occupies the central field of the irregularly shaped flan, with the relief worn but the seated posture clearly discernible. |
