| 表面の説明 | A humped bull (Nandi) depicted in right-facing profile, rendered in low relief in the characteristic schematic style of early Kadamba coinage. A Brahmi legend appears above the bull in the upper field, partially worn but consistent with known dynastic inscriptions. The flan is irregular and slightly flan-cracked at the edges, typical of cast potin issues of the period. The overall design is contained within an unbordered field with no exergual line. |

| 裏面の説明 | The reverse field displays a combination of symbolic devices arranged across an unbordered, irregular flan. A schematically rendered bow and arrow motif is visible, accompanied by multiple circular or annular symbols distributed across the field, characteristic of early Kadamba dynastic iconography. The devices are cast in low relief and show significant surface patination consistent with age. No legible inscription is present on this side. |

The Kadambas of Banavasi were among the earliest indigenous dynasties to issue coinage in the western Deccan following the decline of Satavahana authority, and their potin units draw directly on Satavahana minting conventions — a deliberate continuity that likely served political legitimacy as much as economic function. Potin itself was a practical compromise metal for a regional polity without reliable access to silver, widely used across early Deccan and Tamil issuing authorities for small-denomination circulation.
