| Reverse description | The reverse displays a two-line Nastaliq legend arranged in horizontal registers across the central field, recording the mint name and Samvat regnal year. The inscription reads 'zarb Khumaun samvat 1868,' indicating the Almora mint and the Vikrama Samvat date. A decorative beaded inner border runs along the lower and lateral periphery of the flan, providing a frame to the legend. The flan retains the irregular, slightly scalloped outline typical of hammered silver coinage of this period. The field between the lines of text shows a lightly textured surface consistent with hand-die production. |
