| Obverse description | Crudely struck hammered field featuring the auspicious Devanagari symbol 'Sri' accompanied by a scimitar and a stylized lotus motif in the upper portion of the field. The Nagari characters 'sa' and 'ga' appear as abbreviated dynastic identifiers, while a beaded crescent device, likely representing the moon, is placed below these elements. The overall design is characteristic of the informal, hand-engraved die work typical of early Baroda Princely State copper coinage. |
