This coin is a gold coin minted during the reign of King Jayakesin III of the Kadambas dynasty of Goa, India.
The obverse of the coin features a lion facing left, while the reverse bears an inscription in Sanskrit, denoting the name of the ruler.
The Kadambas dynasty was established in the 4th century in South India. After ruling for approximately 300 years, the dynasty began to decline and eventually split into three separate kingdoms: Banavasi Kadambas, Hangal Kadambas, and Goa Kadambas.
The Kadambas dynasty in Goa rose to prominence in the 11th century, reaching its zenith during the reign of Jayakesin II in the 12th century. During this period, Goa served as a pivotal center for trade.
Under the rule of the Kadambas dynasty in Goa, gold coins were predominantly minted. These coins typically featured a lion facing left on the obverse and bore the name of the king inscribed in Sanskrit on the reverse.
