| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field bearing the same stylized script legend 'Samsatraba' in bold raised relief, rendered in an abstracted calligraphic hand closely mirroring the obverse composition. The strokes are deeply impressed into the silver flan, with vertical and undulating elements prominently displayed. Small pellet ornaments appear flanking the inscription, and additional foliate or stroke devices are visible in the upper and lower fields. The plain rim and irregular flan edge are consistent with the hammered coinage tradition of the Banswara princely mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Banswara was among the smaller Rajput princely states in what is now southern Rajasthan, and its coinage has never received the scholarly attention given to larger neighbors like Mewar or Kotah. Lakshman Singh ruled from 1844 to 1905, an unusually long tenure that saw the state navigate the full consolidation of British paramountcy following the 1857 uprising. Local coinage rights were one of the few visible marks of sovereignty Rajput chiefs retained, which made continued minting politically meaningful even as British Indian currency displaced native issues in daily commerce.
