| Reverse description | Plain field bearing the denomination inscription '10' in the upper portion and 'REIS' below, both struck in large raised letters within a recessed central area, characteristic of the hammered coinage of the Goa mint. The flan is notably irregular and convex in profile, a typical feature of hand-struck copper coinage of Portuguese India in the early nineteenth century. The absence of additional decorative elements reflects the utilitarian nature of this low-denomination circulation issue. |
