| Reverse description | The reverse bears a two-part inscriptional composition: the upper half carries the legend 'Shri Sangrama Sahi' rendered in Telugu script, while the lower half repeats the ruler's name and title in Devanagari script. The bilingual nature of the inscription reflects the political and cultural sphere of influence of the Gond rulers of Garha-Katanga during the medieval period. The lettering is crudely struck and partially effaced due to the irregular hammered flan and circulation wear. No figurative devices are present; the field is entirely devoted to the epigraphic content. |
