| Reverse description | The field is entirely covered by a semé arrangement of nine fleurs-de-lis, distributed in a roughly circular pattern across the coin's surface, referencing the arms of the French royal house. A raised linear inner border separates the fleurdelisé field from the beaded outer rim. No legend or inscription is present. The design is characteristic of the fleurdelisé coinage issued for French India, struck or cast with a bold but irregular style typical of early 18th-century colonial production at Pondicherry. |
