| Reverse description | Irregular hammered field presenting a stylized Devanagari script design in bold raised relief, mirroring the compact interlocking letterform arrangement seen on the obverse, as is typical of bracteate or near-bracteate Malla dam coinage. The design shows abbreviated royal titulature rendered in a highly schematized manner, with the flan exhibiting rough, uneven edges and surface irregularities consistent with primitive hand-hammering production methods. The strike is shallow and partially flat in areas, reflecting the challenges of producing such extremely small fractional silver pieces. This type remains unlisted in both KM and RGV catalogues. |
