| Reverse description | The reverse presents a similarly irregular hammered surface with pronounced flan stress marks and tool impressions resulting from the striking process. The design, heavily obscured by corrosion and wear, likely carried a secondary dynastic or religious symbol consistent with Pandya Sangam-era coinage conventions, possibly an elephant or bow motif. The field is flat to slightly concave with no discernible legend or inscription. Surface patination is consistent with long burial, displaying iridescent metallic hues over a dark copper matrix. The overall condition reflects centuries of soil deposition and oxidation. |
