| Obverse description | Crudely struck hammered copper flan displaying a stylized seated figure in the central field, rendered in low relief with broad, flat features characteristic of Madurai Sultanate small coinage. The figure appears enthroned or in a frontal seated posture, with limbs suggested by simplified linear incisions. The surrounding field is largely plain, with the irregular flan edge typical of hand-struck issues of this period. The overall execution is schematic rather than naturalistic, consistent with minor fractional denominations of the mid-14th century Indian sultanates. |
