Beschrijving keerzijde Central field dominated by a stylised lotus or palm motif rendered as a broad foliate device with multiple upward-radiating lobes enclosed within a curving border, consistent with the floral symbolism associated with Dogra princely coinage. The design is boldly struck in low relief on an irregularly shaped flan with a rough, granular surface characteristic of hand-struck copper issues. Dogri inscriptions appear in the surrounding field. The execution is typical of the primitive striking technique employed at the Jammu mint during this period.

Aanvullende informatie

Ranbir Singh ruled Jammu and Kashmir from 1857 to 1885, yet coinage struck in his name continued to circulate and be re-issued well into the twentieth century under the Dogra administration — a bureaucratic inertia common to the princely states, where updating coin dies was a low priority against the backdrop of British India's own currency dominance. By the 1920s, these small copper fractionals served purely local exchange in rural markets where British Imperial coinage rarely penetrated in small enough denominations.
