| Obverse description | Arabic numeral date in the Hijri calendar inscribed within a rectangular cartouche in the center of the field. The date numerals are rendered in a bold, archaic Islamic script typical of early nineteenth-century Baroda coinage. Additional Arabic script characters appear surrounding the central date panel. The overall design occupies most of the flan, with a plain border enclosing the legends. |

| Additional information |
Sayaji Rao II came to power as a minor under British-supervised regency, and the Baroda state's coinage during his reign reflects the administrative tensions of that arrangement — local types maintained as a concession to tradition while the East India Company tightened its grip on Gujarat. The C#33.2 variety distinguishes itself from the closely related C#33.1 by subtle differences in the Arabic numeral rendering on the reverse, a distinction that tripped up catalogers for decades.
