| 正面描述 | The obverse displays a bold Grantha legend in two registers filling the field, rendered in high relief in the characteristic stylised script of the Chola period. The upper register bears the honorific epithet of Rajendra Chola I, with characters exhibiting pronounced angular strokes typical of early 11th-century South Indian gold coinage. A beaded border encircles the entire field. The die-work is robust and deeply incuse, consistent with the hammered technique employed for Chola kahavanu production. No figurative imagery appears; the design is entirely epigraphic in character. |

| 背面描述 | The reverse presents a seated royal figure in the center field, depicted frontally upon a throne or platform, with attendant figures or symbols flanking the central effigy on either side, a composition consistent with Chola kahavanu iconographic convention. Below the central figure, a further register of Grantha legend occupies the lower field. The relief is bold and the details, though somewhat stylised due to the hammered technique, retain the characteristic artistic vocabulary of Chola gold coinage of the early 11th century. A beaded border frames the design. The reverse legend identifies the issuing dynasty. |

Rajendra Chola I, who co-ruled with his father Rajaraja I before assuming sole power, conducted one of the most ambitious military campaigns in South Asian history — driving north to the Ganges and returning with sacred river water to consecrate his new capital, Gangaikonda Cholapuram. The Kahavanu gold coinage circulated across a maritime empire that stretched from the Coromandel Coast through Sri Lanka and into Southeast Asia, with Chola trade networks reaching as far as the Abbasid Caliphate and Song China.
The 4.4g standard traces to earlier Pallava weight conventions absorbed into Chola minting practice.
