| Reverse description | Reverse field bears a three-line dynastic inscription in Kannada script arranged within the plain field, reading the royal name and title of the issuing ruler Bukkaraya I. The legend is disposed across the flan in horizontal registers, the characters rendered in the characteristic angular Kannada hand of the mid-14th century. The surface exhibits the typical granular texture and irregular contours of a hammered flan, with no border or decorative elements framing the inscription. The deeply struck lettering, though worn in places, remains largely legible. This epigraphic arrangement closely follows the standard reverses of Vijayanagara gold pagodas of the Sangama dynasty period. |
