Obverse description Irregularly shaped hammered copper flan bearing a stylized architectural or symbolic device occupying the central field, rendered in low relief consistent with primitive die-struck technique. The principal motif appears to be a triangular gabled form — possibly a temple spire or royal emblem — with flanking linear elements extending diagonally toward the corners of the square flan. A small circular pellet is visible to the left of the central device. The surfaces show characteristic hammering marks and flan irregularities typical of late 19th-century Indian princely state coinage.
