| Reverse description | Crude hammered field bearing a Tamil inscription in multiple lines, identifying the mint of issue as Negapatnam. The legend is arranged horizontally across the flan in Tamil script, rendered in a rough, utilitarian style consistent with the low-denomination cash coinage produced at this factory. The characters are bold and deeply impressed into the irregular copper flan. The overall workmanship reflects the practical nature of small-denomination coinage intended for local circulation in the Coromandel Coast region. |
