| Obverse description | The obverse bears a central decorative floral motif flanked by beaded separators, dividing two horizontal inscription bands. The upper legend reads 'XX Cash' in Latin characters, while the lower legend gives the equivalent value in Persian (Arabic script): 'In bist kas ast' (meaning 'This is twenty Cash'). The design is purely typographic with no effigy or figurative element, arranged in a straightforward bilingual format characteristic of early Madras Presidency coinage. The field is plain and the legends are rendered in raised relief. |
