| Reverse description | The reverse displays a large, boldly incised Arabic-script inscription in the central field, likely reading 'rāʾij' (current/in circulation), executed in a flowing calligraphic style characteristic of Sikh-era copper coinage. A small decorative square device or cartouche appears to the upper left, accompanied by several pellets or dots arranged vertically along the left margin. The irregular flan and crude strike are consistent with hammered provincial mint production at Derajat. |
