Beschrijving voorzijde Convex repousse gold pagoda of irregular round flan, exhibiting a pronounced scyphate (bowl-shaped) form produced by hammering. At the center, a small circular punch depicts a standing animal figure, likely a lion or mythical beast, rendered in low relief within a circular border. Surrounding the central device, arranged in a ring around the field, are eight square or rectangular punch-marks each bearing individual Kannada or Telugu aksharas (syllabic characters) in relief, corresponding to the royal legend of the issuing ruler. The overall design reflects the distinctive multi-punch technique characteristic of South Indian medieval gold coinage, with the repousse technique imparting a domed, lobed profile to the flan.
Schrift voorzijde Kannada, Telugu

Beschrijving keerzijde Concave reverse, the natural consequence of the repousse hammering technique applied to the obverse, presenting a corresponding hollow or incuse impression of the obverse punches. The surface is uneven and shows the characteristic tool marks and minor flan irregularities typical of hand-hammered medieval South Indian gold coinage. Multiple incuse square and rectangular punch impressions are visible corresponding to the aksharas struck on the obverse, with the central animal punch also leaving a corresponding depression. The overall surface retains a warm yellow gold lustre with areas of reddish patination.
