| Obverse description | Stylized depiction of the conch shell (sankha), a sacred emblem of Travancore, rendered in a highly schematic hammered style. The upper field features a bold arch or horseshoe-shaped form representing the conch mouth, with a central globule in relief. The lower field displays a broad semicircular arrangement of raised pellets or dots, suggesting the body of the conch. The design is characteristic of the archaic, non-legended Travancore fanam type, with no inscriptions present in the field. |
