| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Harikela occupied the southeastern Bengal delta and the Chittagong coastal region — not Myanmar, despite frequent catalog misattributions. The kingdom flourished through maritime trade with Southeast Asia and the Arab world, and its silver coinage reflects that mercantile orientation rather than any tributary relationship with the dominant powers of the subcontinent. The ratti weight standard links it to the Indian jeweler's grain, suggesting these pieces moved as much through merchant networks as through royal fiscal systems.
