| Obverse description | Central field features a schematically rendered elephant facing right in profile, depicted in a bold, primitive hammered style characteristic of late 18th-century Mysorean copper coinage. The animal's body is rendered in high relief against a flat, unadorned field. An Arabic letter 'ba' (ب) appears above the elephant in the upper portion of the field, serving as a mint or denomination indicator. The flan is irregularly shaped, as is typical of hammered coinage of this period, with a slightly ragged rim. |
