| Obverse description | Central field bears the Persian legend 'Ba-zaman-i-mubarak George V Pancham Shah-i-Inglistan Emperor-i-Hindustan' (In the auspicious reign of George V, Fifth King of England, Emperor of Hindustan), written in Nagari or Persian script arranged in multiple lines. A jhar (floral or tree symbol) device appears within the field alongside the Daroga mint-master's mark, serving as an official authentication symbol. The overall design is characteristic of Jodhpur hammered gold coinage of the early twentieth century, with inscriptions filling the flan in the traditional Indo-Persian manner. |
