| Beschrijving keerzijde | Multi-line Devanagari inscription arranged in horizontal registers across the field, divided by ruled lines into distinct bands. The legend, struck in bold relief on the irregular flan, occupies virtually the entire reverse surface, with epigraphic characters identifying the issuing ruler Krishna Devaraya. The script, though worn and partially obscured by surface patination, displays the angular, compact letterforms typical of early sixteenth-century Vijayanagara copper issues. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Krishna Devaraya's reign is widely regarded as the political and cultural apex of the Vijayanagara Empire, a period when the southern Hindu kingdom held off repeated Bahmani Sultanate pressure while simultaneously commanding one of the most lucrative trade networks on the subcontract — Portuguese merchants at Goa were, by the 1510s, supplying the empire with warhorses in exchange for cotton and spices on terms that enriched both sides considerably. Copper coinage of this reign circulated heavily in local markets where the gold pagoda was simply too valuable for everyday exchange.
