| Obverse script | Latin |
| Obverse lettering | G R BOMB (Translation: GR (Georgius Rex - for King George I) Bombay) |
| Reverse description | The reverse carries a full Latin legend arranged in multiple lines or an encircling band across the field, reading 'AUSPICIO REGIS ET SENATUS ANGLIAE' with the date 1737, translating as 'Under the auspices of the King and Parliament of England.' The lettering is rendered in a bold but irregular hammered style, consistent with the primitive die-cutting techniques of the early Bombay Mint. The inscription asserts the dual authority of the Crown and the East India Company's governing Senate over the coinage. The field shows characteristic surface porosity and uneven strike pressure typical of hammered copper issues of this period. |
