Reverse description The reverse displays a multi-line Persian inscription arranged in horizontal registers across the field, executed in a bold Naskh-derived script consistent with the hammered coinage tradition of the Jaisalmer princely state. The legend, referencing the name and titles of Ranjit Singh as local ruler, is set within a plain linear border framing the irregular octagonal flan. The surfaces show characteristic flow lines and die-shift marks inherent to the hand-striking technique, with the text occupying virtually the entire field.
