| Reverse description | Hammered copper reverse bearing a two-line Devanagari inscription in the central field reading 'Chhatrapati', the royal title bestowed upon the sovereign rulers of the Maratha Empire. The characters are rendered in a bold, somewhat archaic Devanagari hand, with strokes of varying depth reflecting the imprecise nature of the hammered striking process. The flan edges are irregular and show typical clipping and surface corrosion consistent with copper coinage of this period. The plain, unadorned field carries no additional devices or border elements. |
