| Obverse description | The presiding deity Brihadhambaal, tutelary goddess of the Thondaimaan rulers of Pudukkottai, depicted seated in a frontal devotional posture. The goddess is shown in a stylized indigenous artistic rendering typical of South Indian princely coinage of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The design occupies the central field within a raised border, with minimal surrounding legend or ornamentation. |
