| Obverse description | Central field displays a stylized figure, likely a deity or royal personage, rendered in a crude but characteristic South Indian hammered style. The figure is surrounded by a border of raised pellets or beaded dots arranged in a roughly circular pattern. The design shows the angular, abstract artistic conventions typical of medieval Tamil copper coinage. The surface exhibits the irregular flan characteristic of hand-struck issues of the Pallava feudatory chiefs of Sendamangalam. No legible inscription is discernible on this face. |
