Reverse description Reverse field features dense calligraphic inscription in Persian-influenced Nagari script, rendered in bold sweeping strokes across the irregular hammered flan. The legend bands, struck in characteristic high relief, fill the majority of the coin's surface in the manner of late Mughal-derived princely state coinage. Floral and scrollwork decorative motifs occupy the interstices between the inscription bands, lending the reverse an ornate appearance consistent with Kishangarh mint practice. The flan shows typical irregularities of hand-struck coinage, with slightly raised rims varying in width around the periphery.
