| Reverse description | Octagonal hammered flan with a two-line Assamese inscription occupying the central field, reading 'Bir Bikrama' in native Assamese script. The characters are boldly struck, arranged in two horizontal registers across the face of the coin. The script retains the angular, archaic quality associated with Ahom-period coinage, with clearly delineated letter forms despite the small module. A dentilated octagonal border surrounds the inscription, consistent with the obverse treatment. The reverse inscription serves as an honorific title of the ruler Chandrakanta Singha. |
