| Reverse description | Plain, convex hammered gold surface bearing a single incuse impressed character in the centre of the field. The character is the syllable Mā rendered in early Nāgarī script, interpreted as an abbreviation for māṣa, a traditional South and Southeast Asian unit of weight. The impression is lightly struck and characteristic of the primitive incuse technique employed throughout the Srivijayan kupang series. The remainder of the flan is unadorned, with an irregular, naturally rounded edge consistent with the hammered fabric. |
