| Reverse description | Hammered reverse field filled entirely with Arabic-script legends in Nastaliq calligraphy, arranged in sweeping diagonal registers across the flan. The inscription records the auspicious coinage struck during the reign under the suzerainty of the illustrious Queen Victoria, Kaiser-i-Hind, with the regnal date given as the year 1880 in Hindu-Arabic numerals (سنه ۱۸۸۰). The date numerals are prominently placed in the upper portion of the field and are clearly legible. Decorative floral or foliate motifs occupy portions of the lower field, consistent with the artistic conventions of Kishangarh princely coinage. The overall composition reflects the Indo-Mughal epigraphic tradition adapted to acknowledge British imperial paramountcy. |
