| Beschrijving voorzijde | Centrally positioned stylized Hindu deity motif, likely representing Lord Vishnu or a related iconographic symbol, rendered in a highly schematic and abstracted manner characteristic of VOC coinage struck at Negapatnam for local circulation. The central device features a trident-like or arch-shaped element with flanking curved appendages and globular pellets arranged in a triangular formation below, evoking a traditional South Indian religious emblem. Two circular pellets flank the central motif in the field. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner border following the irregular flan edge. The style reflects a deliberate adaptation of indigenous Hindu iconography to facilitate acceptance among the local Tamil population. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a Tamil inscription arranged in two registers separated by a plain horizontal line dividing the field. The upper register contains Tamil characters identifying the mint city of Negapatnam (நாகபட்டணம்), while the lower register carries additional Tamil script. The legends are enclosed within a beaded border conforming to the irregular polygonal flan. The script is boldly rendered though somewhat crudely executed, consistent with hammered copper coinage produced for local trade in the Coromandel Coast region under VOC administration. |
