Reverse description Hammered silver reverse of irregular flan bearing a bold Persian Nastaliq inscription occupying the central field, with mint and regnal year details. A prominent sword-shaped mint mark is visible, the distinguishing symbol of the Sankheda mint under the Baroda Gaikwad state. Small square pellet privy marks are scattered in the field, consistent with the workshop conventions of the Gaikwad moneyers. The calligraphy is bold and deeply struck relative to the flan, with the characteristic uneven border edge of hand-struck coinage. The overall style is consistent with late 18th-century Maratha-Mughal hybrid coinage of western India.
