| Obverse description | An elephant rendered in low relief facing left occupies the central field of this crudely struck, irregular square flan. The figure is depicted in a schematic, archaic style characteristic of early Sangam-period coinage, with the body mass suggested by broad, undetailed relief. The surfaces show heavy patination and corrosion consistent with the coin's antiquity and copper alloy composition. No legend or inscription is present. The field surrounding the elephant is plain and unadorned. |
