| Reverse description | Central field bears a stylized figure in the Samatata hammered tradition, depicted in frontal or three-quarter stance with schematically rendered limbs and garment folds indicated by bold incised lines. Attendant symbols and decorative devices, including what appears to be a crescent and subsidiary floral or vegetal motifs, occupy the surrounding field. Brahmi legend śrī bhoga is disposed within or around the central design, referencing an auspicious epithet or associated deity. The irregular, scalloped flan edge and flat, granular surface texture are characteristic of the debased gold coinage of the Khadga rulers of Samatata. |
