| Obverse description | Elephant advancing to left in the field, rendered in a bold, schematic style characteristic of Shahi coinage. Nagari legend reading 'Sri Vakka Deva' disposed around the animal, with individual akshara visible above and flanking the elephant. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, as is typical of hammered copper jitals of this series. The elephant's body is depicted with simplified musculature, trunk lowered, and tail raised. |
