| Reverse description | The reverse displays Arabic legends in nasta'liq script arranged in multiple lines across the field, identifying the mint name Kashmir (کشمیر) and additional regal or pious formulae. The strike is characteristically uneven, with portions of the legend weakly impressed or falling off the flan due to the irregular planchet. The overall style is consistent with Durrani-period hammered copper coinage struck at the Kashmir mint. |
