| Obverse description | Central field depicts a leaping Sardula (mythical lion-tiger hybrid), shown in profile facing left in dynamic stride, with an ornate floral or palm frond motif rising above and before the creature. The Sardula is rendered in relief against a plain field, with Kannada script legend reading 'Sri Chamundi' arranged above the device, referencing the tutelary goddess Chamundeshwari of the Mysore royal house. The overall style is characteristic of early 19th-century Indian princely mint coinage, with bold, slightly crude relief typical of hand-worked dies. |
