| Reverse description | The reverse bears a three-line Arabic and Persian legend arranged horizontally across the central field, reading the mint name and the word 'zarb' (struck), identifying the issuing authority and place of minting. The inscription is executed in a bold naskh-influenced hand consistent with Tipu Sultan's coinage style. The legend is contained within a plain inner circle, itself enclosed by a continuous border of raised pellets that mirrors the obverse treatment. |
