| Beschrijving voorzijde | Persian legend in Naskh script arranged across the field, identifying the issuer and the reigning Mughal emperor. A characteristic four-dot pattern (panchia mark) is prominently positioned within the inscription, serving as the distinguishing privy mark of the Bombay Presidency issue. The lettering is bold and deeply struck in the hammered tradition, occupying the majority of the flan within a plain border. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Persian legend in Naskh script covering the field, describing the denomination and monetary authority. A sun mark device appears within or adjacent to the inscription, acting as an additional mint or issuing authority symbol characteristic of Bombay Presidency gold coinage. The inscription is struck in the conventional hammered style with bold, raised lettering on a plain field, consistent with frozen-date Mughal-style coinage produced under East India Company administration. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Bombay Presidency's gold issues of this period occupied an awkward administrative moment — the East India Company was consolidating regional minting under Calcutta's authority, and local Presidency coinages were increasingly viewed as transitional instruments rather than permanent currency. The Panchia denomination itself derives from the Persian word for five, referring to its fractional relationship within the Mughal-influenced weight system still operative across western India.
KM#240 is among the scarcer Bombay gold fractions, with documented examples showing considerable variation in die alignment — a predictable consequence of hand-operated presses at the Bombay mint before machinery upgrades in the following decade.
