| Reverse description | The reverse displays the Nanakshahi leaf symbol accompanied by scattered decorative pellets throughout the field, divided horizontally by a raised line in the Sikh coinage tradition. The frozen Vikram Samvat regnal date VS 1885 (corresponding to 1828–1829 CE) appears in Persian numerals within the lower half of the field. The inscription and decorative elements are executed in Nastaliq script, consistent with Sikh Imperial coinage of the Lahore mint. As was customary for this series, the date was frozen and does not reflect the actual year of striking. |
