Beschrijving voorzijde Highly stylized, schematic representation of the goddess Lakshmi seated in Padmasana (lotus position) with crossed legs, rendered in a geometric and abstract Devanagari-derived decorative style. The central figure is enclosed within a series of concentric rectangular borders formed by bold raised lines, creating a distinctive stepped or labyrinthine frame. The overall design is characteristic of the late Chandella coinage tradition, in which the original figural imagery has become highly conventionalized. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hand-hammered production.

Aanvullende informatie

The Chandellas of Jejakabhukti — the Bundelkhand region of central India — were in steep decline by the early 13th century, squeezed between the expanding Delhi Sultanate to the north and persistent Paramara pressure to the west. Trailokya Varman was among the last rulers to maintain any meaningful territorial control, and the debasement visible in this issue directly reflects the dynasty's shrinking revenue base and disrupted trade networks during that contraction.
