| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field occupied by the East India Company bale mark, a stylised merchant's mark comprising the letters 'GC' (or 'CC') above a horizontal dividing line, with the letter 'E' below, the whole device rendered in bold raised relief within an unadorned round flan. The bale mark serves as the principal identifying emblem of the Governor and Company of Merchants of London trading into the East Indies. The design is stark and functional, with no border or peripheral legend, consistent with the utilitarian character of Presidency copper coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Madras Presidency's fractional copper issues of this period occupied a genuinely chaotic monetary environment. The Company was simultaneously tolerating, suppressing, and imitating the coinage of local rulers — a pragmatic mess that produced a bewildering range of denominations calibrated to local bazaar custom rather than any imperial standard. The "dudu" itself was a unit rooted in south Indian commercial practice long predating British influence in the region.
KM#305 spans over three decades of issue, during which the Madras mint changed hands administratively more than once following the Company's consolidation after Plassey.
