| Obverse description | Central field bears the Tamil honorific inscription 'Sri' (meaning 'Honourable'), rendered in Tamil script within a double circular border. The legend is enclosed by a dotted outer border that follows the coin's circumference. The design is characteristically simple and bold, consistent with the hammered copper coinage of the Madras Presidency in the mid-18th century. |
