| Obverse description | Crude imitation draped bust facing right, executed with notably poor artistry characteristic of contemporary counterfeits and emergency issues. The effigy displays a disproportionately small nose and a receding, weak chin, distinguishing it from official British regal coinage. A ribbon is present in the hair, with its ends pointing inward toward the neck truncation. The surrounding field is plain, devoid of any legend or inscription. The overall style is coarse and irregular, consistent with the work of an unofficial or colonial die-cutter. |
