Weighing just 0.92 grams and measuring 8.76mm in diameter, this copper unit represents the monetary system of the Nayak period, a transformative era in South Indian history. The coin's "Very Fine" condition demonstrates excellent preservation despite centuries of circulation, with clear details still visible on both sides.
