| Obverse description | Stylized depiction of the Hintha (Hamsa bird) in profile, centrally positioned within the field, rendered in a folk art tradition with dotted body detailing and incised feather lines. The bird's wings and tail are indicated by bold linear strokes, conveying movement in a highly conventionalized manner. The design is enclosed within a single raised circular border surrounded by a prominent outer dotted (beaded) border running the full circumference of the coin. |
