| Obverse description | Crudely hammered copper flan bearing two prominent devices in low relief: on the left, a stylized mango or leaf-shaped cartouche enclosing a small floral rosette, and on the right, a tulip or floral motif rendered in a schematic, boldly incised style. The field is irregular and uneven, consistent with hand-struck production, with no formal border. The overall design reflects the characteristic ornamental vocabulary of Awadh coinage under Wajid Ali Shah. |
