| Obverse description | Crudely struck obverse depicting a stylized fish or serpentine creature in low relief, rendered in a primitive folk art style typical of South Indian copper kasu coinage. The design features a sinuous form occupying the central field, accompanied by pellet ornaments distributed around the periphery. The flan is irregularly shaped with a slightly uneven surface consistent with hand-hammered production. No legible legend or inscription is present on this face. |
