| Reverse description | Octagonal hammered silver reverse entirely filled by a four-line devotional legend in Assamese script, arranged horizontally across the field. The inscription reads 'Sri Sri Hara Gauri Charana Kamala Makaranda Madhukara Sya,' a Sanskrit-derived devotional phrase meaning 'the bee that drinks the honey from the lotus feet of Sri Sri Hara and Gauri (Shiva and Parvati),' reflecting the Shaivite religious devotion of the Ahom kings. The field is plain and unadorned beyond the inscription, with a prominent raised pellet border encircling all eight sides of the flan. The bold, deeply cut Assamese characters fill the available space in a compact, densely arranged layout. The hammered technique imparts a characteristic handcrafted quality to the strike. |
