Reverse description Hammered silver reverse displaying a prominent flowering plant or floral spray motif rising from the lower field, with bold, stylised foliage and blossoms rendered in high relief, a characteristic decorative device of Kishangarh coinage. A horizontal line divides the field, above which the Arabic legend 'مدن سنگھ' (Madan Singh), the name of the ruling chief of Kishangarh, is inscribed in bold Nastaliq characters. The overall composition is typical of the late regal-style hammered issues of Rajputana princely states, combining calligraphic legend with ornamental botanical imagery.
