| Reverse description | Central field displays a three-line Nagari legend contained within a rectangular border with vertical side rules, mirroring the cartouche format of the obverse. The inscription reads 'Sri Sri Sri Sikkim Pati Maharaj' (King of Sikkim), struck in raised Devanagari characters. The flan is irregularly shaped, consistent with primitive hammered manufacture, and the field is unadorned beyond the inscribed panel. Wear and surface granularity are characteristic of copper issues from the Sikkim princely state of this period. |
