| Obverse description | Central field occupied by four lines of Bengali script inscription arranged in a roughly square block, referencing the ruler Ram Simha II and the Jaintia Kingdom. The legends are rendered in a bold, archaic hand characteristic of northeastern Indian feudatory coinage. The inscription is enclosed within a plain inner circle, which is in turn surrounded by a beaded border running along the full circumference of the coin. |
