| Reverse description | A cow standing to right with a suckling calf beneath her, depicted in a simple but evocative pastoral style characteristic of early Nepalese coinage. The scene occupies the central field and alludes to the sacred Kamadhenu, the divine wish-fulfilling cow of Hindu tradition. A Devanagari legend reading 'Kamadehi' is inscribed above the bovine group in the upper field. The coin shows typical surface patination and irregular flan associated with hammered copper issues of the Licchavi period. |
