| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central depiction of a chaitya (stylized arched hill symbol) rendered in low relief on a flat, irregular flan. A partial Brahmi legend encircles the central motif, occupying the surrounding field. The design is characteristic of the crude but symbolically significant coinage associated with the Ananda dynasty of the Deccan region. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two upright trees, identified as fig or Bodhi trees, depicted within a railing or torana enclosure, rendered in raised outline relief. The pair of sacred trees are centrally positioned on the flan, their branching forms clearly distinguishable despite the coarse casting technique. This iconographic motif carries strong Buddhist symbolic significance consistent with Deccan lead coinage of the early Common Era. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Ananda dynasty ruled in the Vidarbha region of the Deccan, a territory that sat at the intersection of northern and southern Indian trade networks during the early centuries of the common era. Lead coinage of this type was not a sign of poverty in the monetary system — lead was deliberately chosen for regional low-denomination exchange where silver punch-marked or copper imperial issues were too valuable for everyday transactions. Chutukulananda remains poorly documented in literary sources, known almost entirely through his coins.
