| Obverse description | Crude hammered field bearing the VOC monogram in an angular, hand-cut style, with the ligated letters 'V' and 'O' surmounted by a 'C', all rendered in relief against a plain, irregular copper flan. The monogram is the central and sole design element, characteristic of the utilitarian coinage struck at the VOC's Negapatnam factory. The legend 'И VoC' appears in Latin characters, referencing the Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie. The striking is irregular, resulting in a slightly off-center impression typical of hammered cash coinage of this period. |
