背面描述	Hammered silver field bearing a multi-line Bengali inscription arranged within a similar intersecting-line grid as the obverse. The legend reads 'Sri Sri Shiva Charana Kamala Madhukara Sya', a devotional epithet referencing the ruler as a bee at the lotus feet of Shiva. A distinctive horizontal line appears below 'va cha ra', terminating in a vertical stroke, serving as a characteristic element of this issue. The bold, deeply struck characters fill the compartments formed by the grid, consistent with the hand-struck technique employed at the Cooch-Behar mint during the reign of Prana Narayana.

附加信息	Cooch-Behar occupied an uneasy position throughout the seventeenth century, nominally under Mughal suzerainty while maintaining its own coinage tradition — a small but pointed assertion of local dynastic authority. Prana Narayan's reign was the longest and most consequential of the Koch dynasty's later period, during which he successfully repelled a Mughal invasion in 1661 with Ahom assistance, a victory that briefly restored genuine political independence to the kingdom. That military reversal of Mughal pressure almost certainly kept this coinage in production longer than it might otherwise have survived.
