| Reverse description | Highly abstracted representation derived from the Sasanian fire altar motif, the original design now reduced to a series of stylized linear and pellet elements typical of the late Gadhaiya Paisa series. The field shows schematic vertical strokes with globular terminals arranged in a symmetrical pattern, with pellets bordering the periphery, continuing the Indo-Sasanian iconographic tradition as perpetuated by the Chalukyas of Gujarat. The progressive degeneration of the prototype is characteristic of issues attributed to the period circa 1120-1210 AD. |
