| 正面描述 | The obverse displays the heraldic arms of the British East India Company at center, comprising a quartered shield supported by two rampant lions, each grasping a flagstaff bearing the Union flag. Above the shield rises a lion passant guardant as crest. A flowing ribbon scroll below the supporters bears the Latin motto AUSPICIO REGIS & SENATUS ANGLIÆ. The circular legend EAST INDIA COMPANY is arranged around the upper periphery, with the date 1804 prominently displayed in large numerals at the base of the design, all within a beaded border. |

The 4 Keping was struck at the Soho Mint in Birmingham under Matthew Boulton's steam-powered presses — the same facility responsible for reforming British domestic coinage. The East India Company contracted Boulton specifically because local Straits production had been plagued by counterfeiting, and the mechanical precision of Soho made imitation considerably harder.
The thick flan variety is distinguished from the thin flan striking of the same year by a noticeably greater planchet depth, a consequence of differing blank preparation runs rather than any deliberate denomination distinction.
