Reverse description Hammered gold flan bearing a multi-line Devanagari epigraphic legend densely arranged across the field, reading 'Shri Mataji Bahadur Shri Sumer Singh Maharajadhiraj Zarb Jodhpur'. The inscription attributes the issue to Maharaja Sumer Singh, ruler of Jodhpur, and records the mint name 'Zarb Jodhpur' in the lower portion. The relief is bold and irregular, consistent with the hand-hammered technique employed at the Jodhpur mint during the early twentieth century. The purely calligraphic design, devoid of figural imagery, is characteristic of Rajput princely mohur coinage of this era.
