| Reverse description | The reverse bears a four-line Devanagari legend arranged within a quadrant framework of bold angular strokes, creating an interlocking geometric pattern across the entire field. The inscription reads 'Shri Mad Govinda Chandra Dev' in formal Devanagari characters, identifying the issuing ruler Govindachandra of the Gahadavala dynasty. The lettering is deeply struck in high relief with a characteristic squared, angular style typical of early twelfth-century north Indian epigraphic convention. Small pellets or ornamental stops appear at the margins of the design field. The coin's irregular flan edge is consistent with hand-hammered production of the period. |
