Extremely fine, Extremely rare.

This is a very rare type of Krishna's gold coins, known so far from only a handful specimen. All coins known so far show a deep die crack on the reverse, and the legend below the 'archer' motif truncated. This is the first specimen which has a very faint die crack, but a very clear legend on the reverse. Dr C S Gupta, on basis of truncated legends had opined that it refers to Lakshmi, the queen of Krishna Deva. However, his view always remained questionable given the fact that the queen's name would ostensibly have no connection with the depiction above it. On this coin the legend quite clearly reads Weesalamari, which means 'killer / attacker of Weesala'. In all likelihood it refers to Krishna's campaign against the Vaghela king Visaladeva of Gujarat. Although Visaladeva was not actually killed by Krishna, he was certainly defeated after a major battle. The coin appears to have been issued as a commemorative piece to celebrate this victory.
