A decorative floral rosette surmounts the cartouche at the top, while the Nepalese Saka era date numerals appear prominently below the cartouche in the lower field. The overall design follows the traditional Nepalese coin format of the Shah dynasty period.

Aanvullende informatie	Surendra Bikram Shah ruled Nepal under heavy pressure from the Rana prime ministers, who had seized effective political control following Jung Bahadur Rana's consolidation of power after 1846. The Shah kings retained ceremonial authority while the Ranas governed — coinage issued in the king's name during this period was as much political theater as monetary instrument. KM#588 is a copper issue from a mint system that remained largely isolated from British Indian standardization efforts throughout the nineteenth century.
