| Reverse description | The reverse field is largely plain and heavily worn, showing only faint traces of design elements consistent with the denomination and date inscription recorded for this type. According to catalogued references, the reverse bears the legend '1 CENT 1786' in bold capital letters within a raised circular border. The flat, unadorned field and simple typographic layout are characteristic of the pragmatic engraving style employed for British East India Company copper coinage of this period. |
