Obverse description A stylized leaf motif occupying the central field, oriented to the right, rendered in low relief characteristic of hammered copper coinage. The design is bold and schematic, with the leaf's stem and lobes clearly delineated against a flat, unadorned field. The planchet is irregular in shape, as typical of hand-struck Sikh paisa coinage of this period. The surfaces show the uneven strike consistent with primitive minting techniques employed at provincial Sikh mints.
