| Reverse description | Central field bears a highly stylized rendering of the auspicious legend 'Sri Rama' in Odia script, followed by the syllable 'sa' as an abbreviation for samvat (regnal year). The inscription is flanked on either side by a goad (ankusha) and a battle axe (parashu). The Anka regnal date 15, corresponding to the fifteenth year of Bhanudeva IV's reign, appears below the central inscription. |
