| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device of a tree-in-railing motif, a sacred symbol commonly associated with early Indian city coinage, surrounded by a Brahmi legend reading 'Bhaddavati' denoting the issuing city. The inscription is arranged around the central device in the characteristic angular Brahmi script of the early post-Mauryan period, with individual akshara characters clearly defined within the rectangular field. |

Bhadravati was a minor urban center in the Deccan region, and its copper coinage belongs to a broad category of punch-marked and cast issues that circulated among local merchant communities largely independent of the Mauryan imperial monetary network. At this particular weight standard — well below the karshapana norm — these pieces functioned as fractional currency for small-scale exchange rather than long-distance trade.
