| Obverse description | Central field features a bold Nagari inscription reading 'श्री सुरेन्द्र' (Sri Surendra), rendered in the characteristic squared, architecturally structured script typical of Nepalese hammered dam coinage. The legend, honoring King Surendra Bikrama Shah, is arranged in a compact two-by-two grid format filling nearly the entire flan. The hand-struck characters display the robust, slightly irregular relief characteristic of mid-19th century Nepalese silver dam production. The plain, irregularly shaped flan edge reflects the primitive hammered manufacture of this diminutive denomination. |
