Obverse description Hammered copper flan displaying a stylized cemetery or tomb motif (maqbara) rendered in low relief within an unbordered field. The design is executed in a naive, provincial style typical of Gwalior State copper coinage of the late 18th century. Heavy green and brown patination obscures portions of the surface, consistent with prolonged circulation. The irregular flan edge reflects the hand-struck hammered production technique.
