| Reverse description | Irregular copper flan with Tamil script inscription arranged within a rectangular panel framed by two horizontal lines, mirroring the layout of the obverse. The central field bears the Tamil legend reading 'Puducheri', referring to Pondicherry as the administrative authority. The primitive hammered style and irregular planchet are typical of low-denomination colonial copper cash coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. |
