| Reverse description | The reverse field is similarly arranged in three horizontal registers of Nasta'liq Arabic script, separated by raised linear bands that span the full width of the flan. The central legend reads 'ضرب بهالپور' (struck at Bahawalpur), with the AH regnal year '١٢١٧' (1217 AH) inscribed in the lower register. Small decorative floral rosettes and foliate devices fill the interstitial areas of the field, mirroring the ornamental style of the obverse. The silver surface displays pronounced multicolored cabinet toning with hues of gold, blue, and violet. The hand-struck technique results in a characteristically irregular, slightly off-center flan typical of princely state hammered issues. |
