| Reverse description | The reverse field displays a two-line Persian/Urdu inscription in Nastaliq script, again divided by a horizontal bar across the centre of the flan. The upper register bears regnal year or mint-related legends, while the lower register carries additional inscription elements including dotted ornamental devices. The overall style reflects the Mughal epigraphic tradition as adapted by the Orchha princely state, with a crudely struck but legible layout consistent with hammered copper paise of this series. |
