| Obverse description | Central field features a stylised six-petalled lotus rosette rendered in low relief, with rounded petals radiating symmetrically from a central boss. The design is enclosed within a plain raised circular border. The flan is irregular and slightly oval, characteristic of hammered copper coinage of the period. The surfaces show typical patination and die wear consistent with extended circulation. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays two interlocked cursive letter pairs, generally interpreted as 'GC' (for Governor and Company) or 'CC', arranged in a monogram device referencing the English East India Company's trading authority in the Carnatic region. The design is struck in low relief on an irregular flan with a plain border. The monogram's exact form varies by die, reflecting the primitive hammered production technique. No additional legend or inscription accompanies the device. |
