Descrizione del rovescio	Plain, featureless field with no devices, legends, or decorative elements, consistent with the primitive cast coinage of Manipur. The surface displays an uneven texture resulting from the casting process, with a deep olive-green and dark patina over the bell-metal flan. The rim is irregular and slightly chipped, typical of the rough manufacturing standards of this undated series.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Manipur's coinage tradition predates British annexation in 1891 by centuries, with the sel serving as the smallest unit in a local system largely insulated from Mughal and later colonial monetary influence. Bell metal — a high-tin bronze alloy more commonly cast into temple bells and ceremonial vessels — was the material of choice for these diminutive pieces, a reflection of the metallurgical traditions of the Meitei craftsmen rather than any minting convention imported from outside the valley.
