| Reverse description | Central device depicts a katar (push dagger), a sacred Sikh martial emblem, rendered schematically in relief within the field. Gurmukhi inscriptions fill the surrounding areas, referencing the issuing authority and mint. The broad, irregularly shaped flan displays the characteristic crude workmanship of hammered copper paise struck at the Amritsar mint during the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. The overall design reflects the devotional and martial symbolism prevalent in Sikh numismatic tradition. |
