| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field dominated by a large, boldly rendered eight-petalled lotus flower (padma) in high relief, the petals rendered as elongated lobes radiating from a prominent central boss, occupying the lower and central portion of the flan. An elephant is depicted in the lower register, facing right in profile, rendered in the conventional stylised manner typical of Yadava gold coinage. In the upper register, a rectangular panel contains the royal legend in Devanagari and Kannada scripts. The overall design is characteristic of the Deccan hammered gold tradition, with an irregularly shaped flan and vigorous, if somewhat compressed, die work. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Yadava rulers of Devagiri controlled the northern Deccan at a moment of extraordinary pressure — the Delhi Sultanate under Balban was systematically dismantling neighboring kingdoms, and Yadava gold coinage from this decade reflects a dynasty spending heavily to maintain military readiness. Mahadev's reign, sandwiched between the more documented rules of Singhana and Ramachandra, is sparsely represented in the epigraphic record, making each attributable coin issue a primary source in its own right.
The "Padma Tanka" denomination itself is a Sanskrit term linking the coin to the lotus — a unit rooted in local tradition rather than the Islamic weight standards increasingly imposed across the subcontinent.
