| Reverse description | The reverse displays a bold Devanagari legend filling the central field, incorporating the abbreviated monogram 'मा' (Ma) identifying the issuing ruler Manaji Rao of Baroda. The regnal year is inscribed alongside the Devanagari characters, following the standard convention for Maratha princely issues of this period. The field is divided and embellished with pellet ornaments in a style consistent with the obverse treatment. The die workmanship is characteristic of hand-struck coinage, with an irregular flan edge reflecting the hammered technique of the Baroda mint. |
