| Reverse description | Central field dominated by a multi-line Nagari inscription occupying the majority of the die area, executed in the characteristic bold and angular Devanagari script of the early medieval Indian coinage tradition. The legend is arranged in two or more registers and reads 'Srimad Gangeya Deva', the honorific royal epithet of the issuing ruler. The hammered flan produces an irregular surface with characteristic die-shift and flan irregularities consistent with hand-struck coinage of this period. No additional iconographic devices are present; the inscription constitutes the sole reverse type. Border elements, if present, are largely lost to the irregular coin shape. |
