| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features a humped bull (Nandi) walking to the right in low relief, rendered in a stylized manner characteristic of early Nepalese coinage. A crescent symbol appears above the bull in the upper field. The entire design is enclosed within a border of raised pellets forming a continuous ring around the circumference. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with hand-struck hammered coinage of the Licchavi period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays an arrangement of Brahmi characters and symbols distributed across an irregularly struck field, including what appear to be abbreviated legends and dynastic symbols. The inscription references Pashupati, the presiding deity of the Pashupatinath temple and a central religious emblem of Licchavi royal authority. Individual characters are raised and somewhat crudely executed due to the hammered technique, with additional pellet or dot devices filling the field. The overall layout is non-uniform, typical of Licchavi copper coinage of the seventh century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Narendradeva came to power in Nepal with Tibetan military backing after his father Udayadeva was deposed, and his reign marked a decisive reorientation of Licchavi politics toward Tibet rather than the Gupta-influenced south. The copper coinage issued under his name is poorly documented in terms of die varieties, and RGV#97 represents one of the few systematically catalogued attributions for this ruler's issues.
