| Reverse description | Reverse field occupied by a series of Ujjaini symbols punch-struck onto the irregular copper flan, including wheel-and-dot motifs and other geometric devices characteristic of the Ujjain regional coinage of the late Mauryan and post-Mauryan period. The symbols are distributed across the square field without a fixed compositional arrangement, consistent with the informal punch-marking technique used for fractional copper issues of this era. The surface shows natural patination and uneven die coverage, with no inscriptions or legends present. |
