| Reverse description | Central device of a trisul (trident) rising prominently from the field, flanked by beaded floral ornaments and crescent motifs arranged symmetrically across the flan. The Vikram Samvat regnal date appears within the surrounding legend, with Persian-script inscriptions distributed around the trisul device. Varieties are known by the form of the trident's central tip — either straight or triangular — and by the presence or absence of accompanying dots, reflecting the hand-struck nature of Amritsar mint production. The overall design is consistent with late Sikh Empire coinage conventions. |
