| Obverse description | Crude hammered copper flan of irregular rectangular form bearing a central device consisting of a stylized symbolic motif, likely a regal or dynastic emblem of the Gond rulers of Devgarh, struck in low relief. The design appears to show a rounded symbol with subsidiary elements below, all executed in the characteristic rough, bold style of provincial Indian hammered coinage. The field is uneven due to the hand-struck nature of the flan, with no legible legend present. The overall design is typical of feudatory Gond issues, prioritizing symbolic content over epigraphic detail. |
