| Reverse description | The reverse mirrors the cruciform compositional scheme of the obverse, with Devanagari legend मल्ल देव arranged in four quadrants separated by a raised cross dividing the field. The inscription completes the royal titulature, identifying the issuer as Bhaskara Malla Deva, king of Kathmandu. The relief characters are boldly struck, though slightly uneven due to the hand-hammered technique employed at the Kathmandu mint. The flan edges are irregular and uneven, consistent with the small fractional silver coinage of the Malla period. |
