| Reverse description | Central device features a trident, the primary symbol of Kutch state authority. Surrounding the trident is an Urdu legend reading 'Badshah ghazi Muhammad Akbar sikka' (Coin of the Victorious Emperor Muhammad Akbar), acknowledging Mughal imperial suzerainty. Below the trident, the name of the local ruling Rao, Desalji II, is inscribed in Devanagari script, affirming local dynastic authority. The combination of imperial Urdu and local Devanagari lettering reflects the dual sovereignty characteristic of Kutch coinage of this period. |
