| Obverse description | Central device depicting a stylized castle or fortress gateway rendered in a primitive, bold relief characteristic of Goa mint hammered coinage. The gateway features an arched entrance above a rectangular grid pattern, likely representing the fortified gates of Goa, flanked on either side by the mint mark letters 'M' and 'E' in the field. A row of pellets or decorative elements crowns the arch above the central structure. The overall design is crudely executed with irregular flan edges typical of hammered Portuguese Indian copper coinage of the João V period. |
