| Reverse description | Central field displays bold Nastaliq calligraphic inscription, with cursive strokes characteristic of Mughal-derived princely state coinage. Three pellets or small circular ornaments are disposed around the main legend, one to the upper right and two to the lower left, serving as decorative fillers within the field. The flan is small and slightly irregular in shape, consistent with hammered production. The overall design reflects the continuation of Mughal epigraphic traditions as adopted by the Pratabgarh princely mint. |
