| Beschrijving voorzijde | A caparisoned elephant depicted in profile facing right, rendered in bold relief in the archaic South Indian style. The animal's body is decorated with ornamental trappings indicated by beaded and linear detailing, and a prominent vertical architectural or pillar element appears to the right of the elephant. The overall design is executed in a stylised, somewhat abstract manner characteristic of early medieval Deccan coinage. The field is plain with no visible legend or inscription. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A seated goddess, identified as Lakshmi, depicted frontally in a formal yogic posture upon a throne or lotus seat. The deity is shown with multiple arms flanked by what appear to be attendant figures or pillars on either side, rendered in bold, stylised relief typical of early medieval South Indian iconographic convention. The figure displays a headdress or crown at the apex and the composition is centrally balanced within the coin's irregular flan. The field is plain with no visible legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Western Ganga dynasty had largely ceded political dominance in the Deccan by the eleventh century, reduced to a regional power operating under Hoysala and Chola pressure. Anonymous gold issues of this type are notoriously difficult to assign to specific rulers within the dynasty's late period, and MSI#192 represents one of the broader attribution ranges accepted in the literature — nearly six decades collapsed into a single catalog entry. The Gajapati designation references the dynasty's elephantine royal symbolism, deeply embedded in their court culture and temple patronage at Talakad.
