Commentary

La typologie du droit et du revers est souvent la même ; l'attribution varie selon les légendes, souvent difficilement lisibles. Les trois légendes sont placées au droit ; Ka Pa N sous le bras droit (devant le roi), Ki Da Ra sous le bras gauche (derrière le roi) et Ga Da Ha Ra en bord de flan complètement à droite. Ce type est attribué à Kipanada (330-360).

This type is attributed to Kipanada (330-360)
