| Obverse description | Deity Venkateshwara (Lord Vishnu) depicted standing facing, in high relief at center, with four arms bearing divine attributes, flanked on either side by ornamental flame-like or foliate pilasters forming a ceremonial arch. The figure is richly adorned with regalia and jeweled ornaments consistent with South Indian iconographic convention. The composition is enclosed within a beaded or dotted border, with the deity dominating the entire field in a bold, hieratic style characteristic of Vijayanagara gold coinage. |
