| Reverse description | Central design composed of a large wheel motif formed by radiating lines dividing the circular field into segments, giving the coin its denomination name 'Wheel.' Seven or eight spokes extend from a central hub toward the outer rim, creating a spoke-wheel pattern characteristic of the Bazaruco series from Portuguese India. Several small circular pellets or bosses are distributed within the segments between the spokes, adding decorative detail to the cast design. The outer border is defined by a raised rim, and the overall execution reflects the rough, hand-finished aesthetic typical of cast copper coinage produced at colonial Indian mints. No inscriptions or legends are present on the reverse. |
