| Beschrijving keerzijde | A Nandi bull depicted in profile facing right, seated upon a raised platform or pedestal, rendered in a schematic and stylized manner typical of early medieval Indian hammered coinage. Brahmi legends surround the central device in the field, recording the royal name and dynastic titles of the issuing ruler. The overall composition is compact and occupies the irregular flan, with the legend partially visible around the periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Kalachuris of Mahishmati occupied the upper Narmada valley during the mid-sixth century, a period when the Gupta imperial framework had collapsed and regional successor powers were issuing coins that deliberately echoed earlier prestige currencies. This drachm belongs to the Krishnaraja issues, named for a ruler whose historical reconstruction depends almost entirely on copper plate grants and these small silver pieces — no contemporary literary source names him with certainty.
The series follows weight standards derived from the Western Kshatrapa tradition, a deliberate archaism still carrying commercial credibility two centuries after that dynasty's extinction.
