| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field depicts a highly stylised combat scene between a lion and an elephant, rendered in the bold, vigorous relief characteristic of medieval Indian hammered coinage. The two creatures are shown locked in dynamic struggle, their forms intertwined in an energetic composition that fills the flan. The execution is semi-abstract, with pronounced musculature and decorative flourishes reflecting the artistic conventions of the Kalachuri school. The irregular flan edge, typical of hammered production, lends the design a raw, powerful aesthetic. No inscriptions or border ornaments are present on this face. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a multi-line Devanagari legend arranged within a segmented field divided by linear borders into quadrants, a layout characteristic of Kalachuri coinage of the Ratanpur branch. The inscription records the name and title of the ruling monarch, reading Sri Jajjaladeva, asserting dynastic authority in the epigraphic tradition of medieval Central Indian rulers. The characters are boldly cut in high relief with the angular, archaic Devanagari letterforms typical of the late eleventh to early twelfth century. The overall layout is formal and structured, conveying regal legitimacy through script rather than figurative imagery. The plain edge and irregular flan confirm hammered manufacture. |
