| Reverse description | Octagonal hammered silver flan with a beaded border matching the obverse. The field bears a five-line Assamese legend in bold relief, reading śrī śrī / svarga deva / śrī śiva siṁha / nṛpasya śāke / 1648-1653, identifying the issuing monarch as Siva Singha, the Svargadeva (Lord of Heaven) of Assam, with the regnal Shaka era dates corresponding to 1726–1731 CE. The deeply incised Assamese script fills the octagonal field in the characteristic Ahom hammered coinage style. The date range across the bottom lines records the span of years during which this type was struck. |
