Reverse description The reverse bears a bold, deeply struck Devanagari inscription arranged in three horizontal registers filling the entire coin field, reading 'श्री पाण्ड्य धनञ्जय', identifying the issuing feudatory lord Pandya Dhananjaya. The characters are rendered in the angular, monumental style typical of 13th-century South Indian epigraphic Devanagari, with raised relief lines forming clearly demarcated letter compartments. The legend is contained within a squared arrangement of ruled lines dividing the field into panels. The outer rim is plain and slightly irregular, consistent with hand-hammered production. The inscription serves as the primary design element, with no additional iconographic motifs.
