| Reverse description | Reverse field displays a similarly compact Pracalit script inscription arranged in a quadrant or cruciform layout, mirroring the bold calligraphic style of the obverse. The hammered technique produces a characteristic uneven surface with die shift visible at the margins. The flan edges show slight irregularity consistent with hand-cut silver blanks used in Nepalese dam coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. Legends relate to the ruling king Jaya Prakash Malla and/or auspicious epithets conventional to Malla-period coinage. |
