| Obverse description | A fleur-de-lis displayed prominently in the center of the coin field, rendered in a stylized manner typical of French colonial coinage of the period. The circular legend PONDICHERY and the date 1700 surround the central device, arranged along the coin's periphery. The overall design reflects the French royal heraldic tradition adapted for colonial monetary use in the Pondicherry settlement. |
