Reverse description The reverse field is fully covered by a multi-line Devanagari legend arranged in horizontal registers, reading 'Seeva Shri Maharaja Kokashahi Mahapati Rao Devgarh', identifying the issuing ruler Kok Shah and his seat of power at Devgarh. The inscription fills the entire flan with densely packed characters in a bold, hand-cut die style typical of Gond provincial issues. The lettering exhibits slight irregularities in spacing and alignment, reflecting the artisanal nature of hammered coinage production in this regional kingdom. The reverse flan is similarly thick and convex, with a corroded, uneven surface covered in green and brown patina. No decorative border or marginal ornament is present, the legend alone serving as the primary design element.
