| Obverse description | The obverse bears three punch marks applied to the characteristic U-shaped gold flan: a figure of Garuda in motion, accompanied by two Kannada script characters, 'Ka' and 'Kara', the latter likely forming part of a dynastic or devotional epithet. The punch marks are distributed across the broad, irregular surface of the flan, their impressions shallow and consistent with hammered fanam production. The field shows the natural texture of the gold planchet with no formal border or legend. |
