| Obverse description | Depicted in the central field is a stylized prancing animal, likely a bull or horse, rendered in a primitive, archaic artistic style characteristic of southern Indian hammered copper coinage. The figure faces right, with raised forelegs suggested by incuse lines, and is surrounded by a dotted or pellet border forming a rough circular frame. The overall design is boldly struck but irregular in outline, consistent with hand-hammered production techniques of the Madurai Nayak period. The field is slightly convex and uneven, reflecting the flan preparation methods of the era. |
