| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field depicts a stylized sacrificial altar or fire-stand, above which two crossed swords are rendered in low relief, their blades intersecting at the centre. Flanking the altar on either side are two oil lamps in schematic form. A cluster of pellets arranged in a triangular or arc-like grouping appears below the central motif, set within a plain border on a flan of irregular fabric typical of cast medieval South Indian coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field bears a stylized lamp or torch-like device, rendered in schematic low relief, flanked to one side by a simplified bow and to the other by a conventionalized palm tree. The design elements are arranged symmetrically across the field and are characteristic of the emblematic iconography associated with Kongu Chera dynastic coinage, executed in a bold but highly stylized manner consistent with cast copper issues of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Kongu Cheras were a regional dynasty controlling the Kongu Nadu territory in what is now western Tamil Nadu, distinct from both the imperial Cheras of Kerala and the later medieval Cheras. Their copper coinage circulated in a region that served as a significant inland trade corridor connecting the Coromandel Coast with the Malabar ports. Attribution of specific denominations within this series remains contested among South Indian numismatists, and the dating range of 800–1200 CE is broad enough to span multiple dynastic phases whose boundaries are still being worked out from epigraphic evidence.
