| Reverse description | The reverse bears a four-line Bengali inscription arranged horizontally across the field, written in a flowing medieval Bengali script. The legend references the devotion of the ruler to Radha and Krishna, naming the issuing monarch and providing a Shaka era date of 1482 (corresponding to 1560 CE). The text is contained within a beaded circular border consistent with the obverse. The inscription serves both a religious and regnal identification function typical of medieval Indian feudatory coinage. |
