| Reverse description | Central field displays a trident symbol (trishula), the sacred emblem associated with the Hindu deity Shiva, enclosed within a small circular inner ring. Surrounding this central motif, Devanagari legends are arranged in a circular pattern referencing the Gorkha government, the goddess Bhavani, and the Vikrama Samvat regnal year. The legends and central device are encircled by the same elaborate interlaced rope border as the obverse, consistent with the decorative vocabulary of Nepalese copper coinage of the period. |
