Beschrijving voorzijde Central device depicts the Chalukya dynastic emblem of a caparisoned boar (Varaha), rendered facing left in profile, symbolizing the royal insignia of the Badami Chalukyas. The celestial symbols of the sun disc and crescent moon appear prominently above the boar in the upper field, consistent with the iconographic conventions of early medieval South Indian coinage. The design is executed in bold, stylized relief characteristic of hammered gold coinage of the period.

Aanvullende informatie

The Chalukyas of Badami collapsed as a dynasty around 753 AD when the Rashtrakutas under Dantidurga overthrew Kirtivarman II, yet gold coinage attributed to the broader Chalukya tradition continued circulating and being issued by successor and collateral branches well into the ninth century. The gadyana was a South Indian gold unit loosely equivalent to the fanam family of denominations, its weight standard reflecting the karshapana-derived systems that persisted across the Deccan independently of northern Gupta weight norms.
