| Reverse description | The reverse features a dense arrangement of Devanagari inscriptions occupying the central and surrounding fields, recording the royal name and regnal titles of King Mahindra Simha of Kathmandu. A decorative dotted border encircles the entire design, a hallmark of Nepalese mohar coinage of this period. The legends are struck in the compact, angular Nepalese Devanagari script characteristic of early 18th-century hammered silver issues from the Kathmandu Valley. |
