| Obverse description | Central device features the heraldic shield of the British East India Company, displaying the characteristic cross with alternating compartments, set within a plain field. The initial letter 'B' appears prominently above the shield, likely denoting the Batavia mint. The legend 'B I EVC' (British India East India Company) is distributed across the field in abbreviated form. The design is rendered in a simple, functional style typical of colonial copper coinage intended for circulation in the Dutch East Indies. |
