| Obverse description | A barefoot Indian farmer guides a wooden plough drawn by a single bullock across a field, with a tall palm tree rising in the centre background and domed temple structures to the left. In the lower foreground, a decorative arrangement of tropical fruits and vegetables — including a pineapple, gourds, and other produce — is displayed in relief. Crops and vegetation fill the right background, evoking an agricultural scene of rural Bengal. |
