| Reverse description | Persian legend in Nastaliq script filling the reverse field, comprising the first copper series standard inscription associated with the Sikh Empire coinage of Ranjit Singh. The legends are arranged across the flan without a clearly defined border, consistent with the crude hammered technique employed for this denomination. The overall design reflects the Mughal-influenced Persian epigraphic tradition adopted by the Sikh Empire for its base metal currency. |
