| Aversbeschreibung | A six-spoked chakra (wheel) occupies the central field, rendered in a schematic and somewhat crude style typical of early medieval Indian cast potin coinage. The spokes radiate from a central hub, dividing the flan into six roughly equal segments. The design is incuse in character, with the spokes and rim visible against the plain field. No legend or inscription accompanies the device. The overall execution is irregular, reflecting the hand-cast nature of the flan. |

| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse is entirely plain and uninscribed, presenting a flat, featureless field with no devices, symbols, or legends. The surface displays the characteristic rough texture associated with cast potin fabric of the Kadamba series. Minor die-shift and flan irregularities are visible at the edges. No secondary symbols or countermarks are present. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Kadambas of Banavasi were among the earliest ruling dynasties of Karnataka, and Krishnavarma II's reign in the early sixth century coincided with sustained pressure from the Chalukyas of Badami, who would eventually displace Kadamba power entirely within a generation. Coinage from this phase of the dynasty is exceptionally scarce — potin issues of this weight class circulated in a region where copper and lead alloys dominated small-denomination exchange, and survival rates are poor.
