| Reverse description | Seated royal figure shown in three-quarter view atop a throne or platform, with the body rendered in schematic high relief characteristic of early Chola coinage; a lotus bud (padma kakula) rises prominently from the center-upper field, flanked by flame-like ornamental devices and a circular annulet above the figure's head. The throne base is depicted with a hatched rectangular register below the seated effigy. The composition reflects the iconic Chola reverse type with associated auspicious royal symbols surrounding the enthroned ruler. |
