| Obverse description | Central device depicting the standing figure of Bal Krishna in a dancing posture, holding a butter ball in one raised hand — an iconographic motif commonly associated with the infant Krishna. The figure occupies the central field of the coin. Note: this subject has been incorrectly identified in the Krause-Mishler catalog as the dancing goddess Chamundi; numismatic scholarship identifies the deity as Bal Krishna. The design is rendered in the bold, high-relief hammered style characteristic of Mysore princely coinage of the early nineteenth century. |
