| Reverse description | Octagonal hammered silver flan with a continuous beaded border following all eight sides. The field is covered in three registers of bold Devanagari legend in high relief, invoking the goddess Sarvveśvarī Devī as the royal patroness and recording the regnal year of issue in the lower register. Small decorative pellet or floral ornaments are visible between the second and third lines of inscription, a hallmark of Ahom coinage of this period. The hand-struck surface displays characteristic uneven depth and flow lines consistent with hammer-and-die production. |
