| 表面の説明 | Crude depiction of the seated figure of Lord Ganesh shown facing, with his characteristic elephant head and rounded belly prominently rendered in low relief at the center of the irregular flan. The figure is flanked by simplified attendant forms or decorative elements in the field, consistent with the rudimentary hand-struck style typical of early East India Company copper cash coinage of the Carnatic region. |

| 裏面の説明 | The reverse displays the interlocked letters 'GC' or 'CC' in monogram form, representing the Governor and Company of Merchants of London Trading into the East Indies, boldly struck in low relief at the center of the plain field. The monogram is rendered in a simple, block-letter style characteristic of early Company copper cash issues, occupying most of the available flan surface on this small, irregularly shaped coin. |

The East India Company's smallest copper denominations were minted primarily at the Madras Presidency, where the cash — derived from the Tamil *kāsu* — had circulated as a unit of account for centuries before the Company standardized it. KM#1 designates the earliest catalogued type in the series, issued as the Company worked to displace a chaotic patchwork of local coinage that varied by town, ruler, and even individual merchant house.
