| Obverse description | A deer depicted in profile facing right, with body oriented to the left, rendered in low relief in the primitive hammered style characteristic of early East India Company copper coinage from Tiruchchirappalli. The animal's form is stylized, with a discernible head, legs, and body contour occupying the central field. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with no surrounding legend or border inscription. |

| Reverse description | Two interlocked 'C' letters (or 'GC' monogram), rendered in bold relief and forming the central device of the field, representing the cypher of the Governor and Company of Merchants of London Trading into the East Indies. The monogram is presented within a plain field on an irregular flan, with no additional legend or border. The device appears as a stylized interlaced symbol characteristic of early East India Company token coinage struck at Tiruchchirappalli. |
