Descrizione del rovescio	A large Ujjain symbol — comprising a central circle with four radiating arms each terminating in a circle — dominates the field, rendered in a bold and deeply incuse style. Four smaller subsidiary symbols are distributed in the quadrants surrounding the central Ujjain motif, a common arrangement on early Deccan punch-marked and cast coinage. The overall composition is characteristic of Satavahana-era religious and dynastic iconography, with the symbols likely carrying cosmological significance.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Rano Siri Satakarni is among the more obscure rulers in the Satavahana succession, and attributing coinage to specific kings within this dynasty remains genuinely contested — the regnal sequences proposed by different scholars vary enough that the same coin can shift by a century depending on whose chronology you follow. The Satavahanas issued punch-marked and cast copper issues alongside these lighter fractional pieces, partly to serve trade networks linking the Deccan to both the western ports and the eastern coastal routes.
