| Obverse description | Imitation of the Arms of the British East India Company occupies the central field, rendered in a simplified, crude style characteristic of locally produced emergency coinage. A Latin legend arcs above the shield, while a scroll below bears a meaningless motto in imitation of Company heraldry. The date 1804 appears beneath the scroll. A beaded border frames the entire design. |
