| Aversbeschreibung | Nine circular repousse punches distributed across the broad, irregular gold flan, each containing a depiction of Nandi (the sacred bull) seated couchant upon a pedestal. Within selected punch impressions, additional iconographic elements are present: oil lamps positioned before and behind the Nandi figure, a flywhisk (chauri) held aloft, and the celestial sun-moon symbol above the animal's back. The overall composition is arranged in a radial pattern across the scyphate surface, with the Kannada legend reading 'Shri Parijwala Nolamba' associated with the issue. The repousse technique imparts a pronounced three-dimensional relief to each punch device. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Nolamba chiefs who issued these pieces occupied an awkward political position — nominally subordinate to the Ganga Gajapatis but effectively autonomous across the upland tracts between the Eastern Ghats and the Deccan plateau. Dileepa Irivanolamba's reign falls within a period when Nolamba authority was being steadily compressed by Chola expansion from the south and Rashtrakuta pressure from the west. That a gold coinage was maintained at all under those conditions says something about the residual extractive wealth of the region.
The repousse technique — hammering sheet gold over a die rather than striking a cast blank — produces the characteristic domed surface and diffuse detail seen on these pieces.
