Obverse description	Central field features a bird, likely a crane or heron, depicted in profile facing left in a naturalistic style typical of Mughal-influenced regional coinage. The figure is rendered in low relief against a plain field, with scattered pellets or dots surrounding the device. The flan is irregular and rectangular, characteristic of hammered copper coinage of the period. The borders are uneven, reflecting the hand-struck nature of the issue. No legend appears on this face, the bird motif serving as the primary identifying device.
