| Reverse description | Bold Devanagari legend filling the central field in two registers, identifying the issuing ruler. The inscription reads 'Shri Madra Ratna Deva', rendered in the large, angular Devanagari script typical of 12th-century Kalachuri coinage of Ratanpur. Individual akshara characters are boldly raised in high relief against a plain field, with the coin's irregular, flan-crack-marked surface characteristic of debased hammered gold issues. A border of raised pellets encircles the legend, consistent with the obverse treatment. |
