| Reverse description | Reverse features a prominent Devanagari legend struck in bold relief across the field of the irregular copper flan. The inscription 'Chhatrapati' is rendered in two lines, with the characters deeply impressed into the soft copper surface. The strike is characteristic of hammered Maratha paisa coinage, with slightly uneven depth and minor flow lines visible across the field. The flan edges are rough and irregular, consistent with hand-cut planchets typical of this series. |
