| Reverse description | A bird — identified as a parrot, the vahana associated with Goddess Meenakshi — depicted in profile facing right, with wings folded and tail feathers rendered in striated lines. The figure is boldly struck in high relief against a plain field, with naturalistic though stylized detailing consistent with Nayaka-period copper coinage. The irregular flan edge is characteristic of the hammered production technique of the period. |
