| Reverse description | The reverse is divided by a horizontal line rule across the center of the field, with Gurmukhi legends occupying both the upper and lower registers. The inscription reads 'Akal Shahi Guru Nanakji,' invoking the eternal sovereignty of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, a devotional formula standard on Sikh Empire copper coinage. The lettering is broad and boldly rendered, though somewhat flat due to the hammered striking technique. The flan edges are irregular and show the characteristic crudeness of base-metal issues from the Amritsar mint. |
