| Reverse description | The reverse bears multiple lines of Persian-Nastaliq script in the field, struck in the hammered tradition typical of Kotah Mint issues. The legend identifies the mint as Kotah (Kota) and references the regnal year formula 'Julus Maimanat Manus Sana' (year of the auspicious accession). The calligraphic inscription is bold and characteristic of the local engraving style, with the text distributed across the flan in horizontal registers. The strike is moderately well-centered, with the legends showing slight weakness at the periphery as is typical of hammered issues. The silver surface displays natural toning consistent with age and circulation. |
