| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely occupied by a multi-line devotional and royal inscription in Bengali script, arranged horizontally across the field within a dotted border. The legend invokes the deity Radha-Krishna and records the full regnal title of the issuing ruler, Isana Chandra Manikya Deva, along with a reference to the queen consort Chandresvari Maha Devi. The script is boldly incused and fills the coin's surface in the characteristic style of Tripura gold mohurs of this period. |

| Additional information |
Isana Chandra Manikya ruled Tripura for a single year, 1849, before his death ended one of the shortest reigns in the state's dynastic history. The Manikya dynasty had issued coinage continuously since at least the fifteenth century, making Tripura one of the more prolific princely minting authorities in northeastern India — but issues tied to reigns this brief are correspondingly rare by simple arithmetic. Fr#1431 confirms gold mohur production, though surviving examples appear infrequently at auction outside of specialist Indian princely sales.
