Obverse description Irregular hammered silver flan bearing the Nagari inscription 'चांदी' (Chandi, meaning 'Silver') in bold characters occupying the central field. The legend is rendered in a characteristic hand-cut style typical of late princely-state hammered coinage. A small dot or pellet appears above the first akshar 'चां', serving as a denomination or mint mark. The script fills nearly the entire obverse field with minimal border treatment, consistent with the anonymous series issued under the authority of Kishangarh State.
