| 表面の説明 | Central field features a stylized lotus flower depicted in low relief, with six petals radiating symmetrically outward from a circular center, enclosed within a raised circular border. The petals are rendered in a bold, angular style characteristic of early medieval Indian coin engraving. The design occupies most of the flan, with the lotus motif boldly struck despite the irregular planchet. No legend or inscription is present. |

| 裏面の説明 | Reverse is entirely blank, presenting a plain, featureless field with no design, inscription, or decorative element. The surface shows the natural texture of the cast and hammered potin planchet, with minor irregularities consistent with the crude production methods of the period. A small area of surface discoloration is visible near the upper edge of the flan. |

The Kadambas of Banavasi were among the earliest dynasties to assert independent rule in the Deccan following the fragmentation of Gupta imperial influence in the western regions. Their coinage, struck in potin — a low-grade alloy of copper, tin, and lead — reflects practical rather than ceremonial priorities, circulating at the subsistence level of a regional agrarian economy. At 0.37g, this is exceptionally light even within the already diminutive Kadamba potin series, suggesting either significant metal economy or prolonged use as a fractional unit within local exchange networks.
