| Reverse description | Central device consists of a large, stylised Sri Vatsa or trishula-derived symbol rising from a crescent base, rendered in high relief with sweeping lateral volutes, evoking a floral or flame motif. The device is surrounded by a border of pellets arranged along the lower arc of the field, with additional pellet or dot elements flanking the central symbol in the left and right fields. The broad, flat flan characteristic of bracteate hammered technique is clearly evident in the shallow but legible strike. This reverse type, distinguished by the number of pellets in the border, corresponds to the variety classification noted in the Mitchiner reference. |
