Reverse description The reverse presents a pattern of five raised bosses or pellets arranged informally across the field, accompanied by a circular ring device to the right and a diagonal stroke element toward the upper margin. These devices are characteristic of the primitive hammered coinage of the Gwalior princely state and served as denominational and authenticating symbols. The flan is slightly irregular, and the surface retains the textured appearance typical of hand-struck silver. No legend is present on this face.
