| Beschrijving voorzijde | Struck in the name of the Mughal Emperor Muhammad Akbar II, the obverse bears Arabic script legend occupying the central field. The inscription records regnal year 12 (١٢) of Muhammad Akbar II, rendered in bold Naskh-style lettering. The flan is irregular and slightly thick, characteristic of hand-struck copper coinage of the Baroda princely mint. The fields show typical die-struck relief with areas of flat strike and natural surface porosity consistent with hammered copper production. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a Devanagari initial letter 'आ' (for Anandrao, ruler of Baroda) prominently in the central field, surrounded by a stylised six-petalled floral motif. The petals radiate symmetrically around the central character, a decorative device commonly employed on Baroda copper coinage of this period. The flan edges are rough and irregular, consistent with hand-cut planchets typical of early nineteenth-century princely state minting practice. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Anand Rao — formally Anandrao Gaekwad — ruled Baroda under effective British Paramountcy, the Gaekwad dynasty having been brought firmly under Resident oversight following the deposition of Vitoji Rao in 1819. Coinage from this reign reflects a princely state navigating constrained sovereignty: the right to strike copper for local circulation was preserved, while silver issues came under increasing British scrutiny.
The long reign span means die workmanship varies considerably across the period.
