| Obverse description | Central field bears a stylized Nagari legend reading the name and title of the ruling queen, Ahalya Bai Sahiba Holkar, who reigned from December 1767 to August 1795. The inscription is rendered in bold raised characters against a flat field, flanked by two parallel horizontal lines serving as a decorative border element. The overall style is characteristic of Holkar State copper coinage of the late 18th century, with an informal, hand-engraved quality typical of hammered issues. |
