| Aversbeschreibung | Caparisoned elephant depicted in dynamic stance occupying the central field, rendered in bold high relief characteristic of South Indian hammered gold coinage. The elephant is shown with a prominently elongated trunk curling downward, its body adorned with ceremonial trappings. Subsidiary symbols and pellet arrangements flank the main device within a beaded or rope border defining the coin's periphery. The execution is robust and stylized, reflecting the artistic conventions of the Western Ganga regional minting tradition. The broader flan allows for a well-spread design with open field areas surrounding the central motif. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Central field occupied by an elaborate floral scroll or vegetal arabesque design, rendered in the characteristic South Indian decorative idiom. Sinuous foliate tendrils and stylized blossoms radiate across the surface in a symmetrical or semi-symmetrical composition. The design is executed in bold hammered relief with a somewhat irregular flan edge typical of hand-struck gold pagodas of the Ganga period. Fine pellet or dot embellishments may accompany the floral elements. The overall effect is ornamental and lush, consistent with the artistic vocabulary of medieval Deccan gold coinage. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Western Ganga dynasty governed the Deccan region as feudatories — first under the Chalukyas of Badami, then the Rashtrakutas, and finally the Western Chalukyas of Kalyani — before their political extinction in the early 14th century. The "Governor's Issue" designation reflects this subordinate status: these pagodas were struck under delegated minting authority rather than as declarations of independent sovereignty. The Gajapati type specifically circulated in the southern Deccan trade networks where gold pagodas had displaced older punch-marked conventions entirely.
The three-century attribution window is an honest acknowledgment of how poorly documented individual issues within this series remain.
