| Obverse description | Irregularly shaped hammered copper flan bearing the Persian Nastaliq legend 'کمپانی سرکار بہادر' (Kampani Sarkar Bahadur, meaning 'The Honourable Company Government') distributed across the field in the characteristic flowing script of early East India Company coinage. The inscription is boldly struck but displays the typical irregularities associated with hand-struck provincial issues. The legend fills the entire field without a formal border, reflecting the utilitarian nature of this local mercantile coinage. The surface shows natural flan preparation marks consistent with hammered copper production. |
