| Reverse description | Hammered silver reverse bearing a bold Persian Nastaliq legend filling the entire field, reading فرنچ کمپني ('French Company'), referring to the Compagnie des Indes. The script is rendered in a characteristically South Indian hand, with bold, deeply struck strokes dominating the irregular flan. The field exhibits the typical rough texture of hand-struck colonial coinage, with no border or decorative elements framing the inscription. |
