| Reverse description | A lion passant to left occupies the central field, rendered in a bold, stylised manner characteristic of Licchavi copper coinage. The beast is depicted with its tail raised and body in profile, conveying a sense of regal movement. A Brahmi legend encircles the lion in the peripheral field, partially legible due to the irregular flan and wear, with portions of the royal inscription referencing the issuing ruler Manadeva. The design draws on established South Asian numismatic conventions for royal lion imagery, serving as an emblem of dynastic authority. |
