| Obverse description | Aniconic hammered silver flan bearing a three-line Devanagari legend arranged in horizontal registers across the field, reading 'Shri / Jagadamba / Prasanna' (meaning 'Blessed by the goddess Jagadamba'). The inscription is rendered in bold, deeply struck Devanagari characters typical of early Maratha coinage, invoking the tutelary deity of the Bhonsle clan. The irregular, slightly lobate flan edge is characteristic of hand-hammered production at the Raigad mint. The field shows the natural textural variations and gentle flow lines consistent with hammered technique, with no figurative imagery, the devotional legend itself serving as the sole decorative and epigraphic element. |
