| Beschrijving keerzijde | Depiction of a seated goddess rendered in the post-Hunnic Kashmiri artistic style, shown in a frontal or slightly turned posture with attributes characteristic of a Hindu deity. The figure appears to be enthroned or seated, with stylized limbs and iconographic details consistent with representations of Lakshmi or a related goddess found on Kashmiri copper staters of this period. The relief is worn but the divine figure remains identifiable by its posture and surrounding decorative field elements. The reverse field is otherwise plain with no clearly legible legend. |

Harsha of Kashmir ruled from 1089 to 1101, and his reign — documented in extraordinary detail by the poet Kalhana in the Rajatarangini — was marked by increasingly erratic behavior, temple desecrations on a systematic scale, and a treasury so depleted that he stripped gold and silver fittings from shrines to fund his military campaigns. Copper coinage proliferated precisely because the precious metal supply had been looted and redirected. Kalhana describes Harsha employing a dedicated officer, the devottapanapati, solely to oversee the plunder of temple wealth.
