| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylized devotional or royal motif visible on the reverse field, depicted in a primitive, heavily worn manner characteristic of early medieval Nepalese hammered silver coinage. The design appears to feature abstract or zoomorphic elements, possibly a deity or auspicious symbol, rendered in low relief on an irregular flan. Surface patination and die degradation make precise identification of individual design elements difficult. The overall execution reflects the artisanal, hand-struck production techniques common to Nepalese dam coinage of the 8th through 16th centuries. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The dam circulated as the smallest unit in Nepal's hill-kingdom monetary hierarchy during a period when trade routes through the Himalayas made small-denomination silver essential for bazaar transactions. Attribution within this series remains contentious — RGV#170 places it within a broad range spanning nearly eight centuries, reflecting how poorly documented the issuing authorities are and how rarely surviving pieces carry legible mint or ruler identifiers.
