| Obverse description | Diademed bust of Queen Victoria facing left, rendered in a local Indian hammered style adapted from British coinage prototypes. Devanagari legend श्री वृन्दावन (Shri Vrindavan) curves around the upper left periphery of the field. A small symbol or mintmark appears in the lower left field beneath the bust. The portrait, while clearly derived from Victorian-era effigy conventions, displays the characteristic flat and somewhat naive execution typical of princely state coinage of this period. |
