| Obverse description | Central device depicts a stylized figure, likely a deity or royal emblem, rendered in the crude but vigorous hammered style characteristic of Vijayanagara gold coinage. A bird or animal form, possibly a garuda or elephant, appears in the lower field beneath the central motif. The design is surrounded by a beaded border, typical of Saluva Dynasty fanam-type gold issues. The striking is irregular, as expected of hand-hammered coinage of this period and denomination. |
