| Reverse description | The reverse carries a multi-line Persian inscription in Naskh script reading 'Sana Julus Maimanat Manus Zarb Pratapgarh', denoting the regnal year and the mint of Pratapgarh, following the Mughal-derived formula standard to Rajput princely issues. Three small pellets are visible in the central field, serving as decorative or mint-mark devices characteristic of this series. The legend is struck in high relief on a broad, irregular flan, with the script flowing across the coin's surface in the customary hammered style. The field is otherwise plain, with no inner circle or outer border, consistent with the hand-struck production methods of this mint. The surface shows the natural luster and flow lines typical of a well-struck silver hammered coin. |
