| Reverse description | Central device depicts Nandi, the sacred bull of Lord Shiva, shown in profile facing left and standing on a ground line, rendered in a bold, stylised manner typical of Indore princely coinage. The Nagari legend 'श्री शंभु शिवाजीराव' curves around the periphery of the field, referencing the ruling Holkar Maharaja Shivajirao. A beaded border encircles the design, and the overall treatment reflects the devotional Shaivite iconography associated with the Holkar dynasty. |
