Beschrijving keerzijde The multi-armed Tantric deity Mahakala is depicted seated in a frontal meditative posture upon a fully bloomed lotus throne at the center of the field, rendered in high relief with numerous outstretched arms radiating symmetrically and holding various ritual attributes. The goddess is encircled by a raised inner ring of engine-turned ground, beyond which two sinuous dragons in bold relief wind around the intermediate border, their bodies framing the central medallion on left and right. An elaborate outer border of repeated rectangular cartouches, possibly containing Tibetan or decorative script elements, forms the outermost decorative band, separated from the inner design by a ring of fine beading. The overall composition reflects a fusion of Sino-Tibetan iconographic traditions executed in a Western milled coinage style.
