| Reverse description | Octagonal hammered gold flan displaying a five-line Assamese script inscription across the central field, invoking the lotus feet of the deities Hara (Shiva) and Gauri, and recording the Saka era date of issue. The raised characters are deeply struck in the characteristic Ahom style, enclosed within a continuous border of raised pellets that follows the octagonal outline of the coin. The field surface retains the granular texture typical of hammered gold coinage, and the inscription fills the available space with a density consistent with Ahom devotional numismatic tradition. |
