| Reverse description | Hammered reverse displaying a bold Arabic legend reading 'Zarb Sana Julus' (struck in the year of accession), arranged within a crescent-shaped cartouche with vertical strokes above, characteristic of Arcot mint small copper issues. The legend is crudely executed in the informal calligraphic style typical of base-metal provincial coinage of the Carnatic Nawabdom. A row of pellets occupies the lower portion of the field beneath the crescent motif. The overall design reflects the abbreviated formulaic inscription style used to denote regnal dating on these low-denomination hammered pieces. |
