Obverse description	Central field displays a sacred Vaishnava device composed of the Shankha (conch shell) to the left and the Chakra (discus) to the right, flanked by subsidiary devotional symbols. A crescent or arch-shaped motif occupies the upper field above the central devices. The composition is rendered in low relief typical of cast copper coinage, with the design enclosed within a beaded border running along the coin's periphery. The overall iconographic program reflects the strong Vaishnava religious orientation of the Vijayanagara rulers.
