| Reverse description | Central field features a standing figure rendered in a bold, linear style with pronounced abstract strokes, consistent with the degenerated but vigorous artistic tradition of Samatata royal coinage. The design exhibits heavily stylized anthropomorphic forms with flanking symbols or subsidiary motifs in the field. Brahmi characters are present, likely conveying the royal name or epithet Sri Jivadharma. The irregular flan and hammered technique result in an uneven surface with natural distortion at the edges. |
