| Reverse description | The reverse features Arabic inscriptions in two lines across the field, recording the AH regnal date and the mint name 'Nagar' (Zarb Nagar), indicating the place of striking. The legends are rendered in a compact, somewhat crude calligraphic style typical of hammered fanam coinage. A beaded border encircles the inscriptions, consistent with the obverse treatment. The overall layout is characteristic of Tipu Sultan's Nagar mint issues. |
