Similar coin was sold in Spink (London) Auction on 26th March 2013, Lot No. 105 at £ 24,000.
This extremely rare and important coin is perhaps one of the 30000 coins specially struck by Krishnadeva Raya in 1516, to perform a Kanakabhishekam (“Shower of Gold”) ceremony at the Tirupati temple, to thank the Lord for his victory over the Kondavidu and Gajapati dynasties of neighbouring Andhra-Orissa country. It shows a truly splendorous depiction of Venkateshwara, in all its jewelled glory on obverse. As compared with it the simplicity of the reverse stands out as a testimony to the King's devotion and subservience to the Lord. A numismatic masterpiece!
