Reverse description Reverse depicts a highly stylized profile bust or head, likely a bovine or elephant head, rendered in low to medium relief in the characteristic abstract hammered style of Yadava dynasty fractional silver coinage. The form is schematically executed, with a curved outline suggesting a cranium and facial features reduced to minimal incuse or raised elements. No border legend is present, and the field surrounding the device is plain. A Devanagari inscription reading 'श्री महादेव' is associated with this type, attributing the issue to the reign of the Yadava king Mahadeva (r. 1261–1271).
