| Obverse description | Highly stylized, schematic representation of the goddess Lakshmi seated in frontal posture, rendered in the abstract medieval South Asian tradition characteristic of Yadava coinage. The central motif comprises a series of bold raised pellets and curved elements suggesting the deity's torso, limbs, and headdress, with a prominent circular arc above evoking a nimbus or parasol. Diagonal strokes radiating toward the coin's periphery represent the lotus throne (padmasana) upon which the goddess is enthroned. The overall composition fills the irregular flan, with the design executed in high relief against a plain field. |
