Obverse description The obverse field is entirely occupied by a three-line inscription in Telugu script, raised in bold relief against a plain, unadorned field. The legend reads 'Kampini varuvesana kal dabbu', translating as 'Honorable Company, quarter dub', referencing the East India Company as the issuing authority. The lettering is arranged horizontally across the flan in three registers, filling the field from rim to rim. No border ornamentation, devices, or imagery are present; the design is purely typographic in character. The coin exhibits the characteristic broad, rounded letterforms of Telugu script executed in a utilitarian minting style.
