Description

Krishna Devaraya (1509–1529) was one of the most celebrated rulers of the Vijayanagara Empire, a powerful South Indian kingdom known for its political influence, temple architecture, and cultural achievements. Coins associated with his reign offer a tangible connection to the monetary and artistic traditions of this important period in Indian history.

Obverse: The obverse depicts a winged Garuda kneeling in Namaskar Mudra, a gesture of reverence, with a sun symbol positioned in front. Garuda holds an important place in Hindu iconography, making this design a notable example of the religious imagery found on Vijayanagara coinage.

Reverse: The reverse features a Nagari legend arranged in three lines, read as Sri Pratapa Krishna Raya. The inscription identifies the ruler and gives the coin a distinctive historical and numismatic character.

Collectibility: Struck in copper, this 1 Jital weighs approximately 3.68 grams and measures around 15 mm in diameter. Its irregular round shape, Garuda motif, and Nagari inscription make it a meaningful addition to collections focused on Krishna Devaraya, the Vijayanagara Empire, and medieval Indian coinage.
