| Reverse description | Four lines of Bengali script fill the entire central field in bold raised letters, reading 'Shri Shri Amravati Devi Shri Silet Bijayi', referencing the goddess Amravati Devi and commemorating the conquest of Sylhet by the ruler Amara Manikya. The lettering is large, deeply struck, and occupies virtually the full flan, consistent with hammered tanka coinage of the Tripura kingdom. The script is arranged in a rectilinear grid-like composition within the field. A beaded or cable border encircles the inscribed area along the irregular edge of the coin. |
