| Reverse description | The reverse presents multiple horizontal lines of Persian script in the traditional Sikh rupee format, recording the regnal citation and mint information. Dot clusters serve as decorative punctuation between legend lines, a hallmark of Amritsar mint issues. The inscription references the Nanakshahi era dating and the mint name, arranged in the characteristic multi-register layout derived from Mughal coinage tradition. The field is heavily inscribed with bold, slightly worn lettering, and the rim retains traces of a plain border. Minor die-shift is visible, consistent with late Sikh Empire minting practice. |
