| Obverse description | Highly stylized, schematic effigy of the deity Kali rendered in a geometric and primitive artistic style, standing facing. The figure is depicted frontally within a rectangular frame, with the body composed of angular lines and rounded pellets denoting the head and attributes. The crude, abstracted rendering is characteristic of the local South Indian cash coinage tradition adapted under Dutch occupation. |
