| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central device consisting of a heart-shaped cartouche enclosing the interlaced monogram 'VEIC' (Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie / East India Company) formed by crossed letters, surmounted by a cross fitchée at the top. The four cardinal points of the design are flanked by the individual letters V, E, I, C in the field, reading clockwise. The coin date 1787 appears in the legend. The overall composition is rendered in a bold, low-relief style characteristic of early colonial copper coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic inscription filling the entire field in bold, deeply struck Naskh script, reading 'Jazira Prints Abu Yilis' (Island of Prince of Wales), identifying the issuing territory of Penang. The lettering is arranged in sweeping diagonal lines across the flan, a layout typical of Jawi-influenced calligraphic coinage produced for the Straits Settlements. The field is unadorned save for the inscription, with a milled border running around the rim. The engraving is robust and legible, suited to circulation in a multilingual mercantile community. |
