Gond 1/2 Paisa

Beschrijving voorzijde	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.

Beschrijving keerzijde	Plain, essentially blank reverse typical of this series of hammered Gond copper issues, displaying only the natural texture and surface irregularities of the roughly prepared copper flan. Faint incuse impressions from the striking process are visible across the surface, consistent with the primitive minting technique employed at the Devgarh mint. No design, legend, or device is present on this face. The flan edges are irregular and unfinished, characteristic of hand-cut copper blanks used for provincial coinage of this period.
