| Reverse description | Reverse of this irregular hammered copper paisa displays a three-line Gurmukhi inscription occupying the central field, reading the mint name Dera Ghazi Khan in three registers. The legend 'ਜਰਬ / ਡੇਰਾ ਗਾਜ਼ੀ / ਖਾਨ' identifies the place of issue, with the word 'ਜਰਬ' (zarb, meaning 'struck at') at the top. The strike is characteristic of hammered provincial coinage, with slightly uneven flan edges and variable depth of impression across the field. |
