| Obverse description | Crude hammered copper flan bearing a Devanagari legend arranged in two horizontal lines across the field, reading 'श्री राजा शिव' (Shri Raja Shiv), in reference to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The characters are boldly struck with characteristic irregularity typical of Maratha hammered coinage. The legend is divided by a central horizontal bar, giving the inscription a grid-like appearance. The flan edges are irregular, consistent with hand-cut planchets of the period. No figural devices are present; the design is entirely epigraphic in nature. |
