| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays a Nagari legend reading 'Hasa' accompanied by a Samvat regnal date (Sa 40), all enclosed within a square frame. The square is itself surrounded by a dotted or pellet border, typical of the hammered coinage of the Chauhan Rajput rulers. The design is rendered in low relief on an irregular flan with a characteristic granular field surface. The arrangement of the inscription within the square border reflects the epigraphic style prevalent in late 13th-century Rajput coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a stylized fire altar (dhvaja or yajna-vedi) rendered in low relief at the centre of the field, flanked by attendant elements consistent with Brahmanical iconographic convention. The Nagari letter 'Sri', an auspicious honorific epithet, appears prominently in the field adjacent to the altar. The composition is enclosed within a pellet border matching the obverse, and the overall design reflects the religious and dynastic symbolism characteristic of Chauhan Rajput copper coinage of the Ranthambore period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hammira Deva ruled Ranthambore as the last independent Chauhan chief, holding the fortress against repeated Khalji pressure before Alauddin Khalji's forces finally breached it in 1301. These copper drachms were struck during a reign defined by that siege mentality — Ranthambore was one of the most formidable hill forts in Rajputana, and Hammira's refusal to surrender Mongol refugees who had converted and sought his protection was the direct political trigger for Alauddin's final campaign against him.
