| Obverse description | Irregular hammered copper flan bearing a three-line Devanagari inscription in raised relief occupying the central field. The legend reads 'श्री / राजा / शिव', rendering the royal epithet of Shivaji Maharaj. The characters are boldly struck in the archaic Devanagari style characteristic of early Maratha coinage, with no additional decorative elements. The flan edges are uneven and ragged, typical of hand-struck Maratha paisa issues of this period. |
