This coin features Lord Krishna, also known as Murli Manohar, playing on his flute. Depicted here as a beautiful youth, Krishnaβs magical flute drew βgopalasβ and βgopisβ, that is the cowherds and the milkmaids of Mathura into a spiritual trance and induced the cows to give fully of their milk. Wearing his favorite peacock feather crown, the image of Krishna or Murli Manohar is richly embossed on this gold-plated coin.
