| Obverse description | Crude hammered copper flan bearing a stylized zoomorphic or floral device in low relief, characteristic of Bikaner princely coinage of the late 18th century. The design, executed in a bold and roughly finished manner typical of hammered provincial issues, occupies the majority of the irregular field. The surrounding area shows the natural uneven edge of the hand-struck planchet. Artistic execution is in the vernacular tradition of Rajput princely mints. |
