| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Latin inscription filling the entire field, reading across several horizontal lines in capital letters. The legend references the Bombay settlement under English rule and invokes a divine motto, with the date rendered as '74' (for 1674) incorporated within the text. The lettering is bold but crudely formed, with uneven spacing and some letters compressed or merged due to the irregular flan and hammered striking technique. The coin's irregular planchet results in portions of the legend being weakly struck or absent near the edges, a common characteristic of this early Bombay Presidency issue. |
