| Reverse description | Central rectangular cartouche enclosing a three-line Devanagari legend reading 'Sri Sri Sri Nepal Sarkar' (Government of Nepal), arranged in horizontal registers within the panel. A decorative floral rosette motif surmounts the cartouche at the top, mirroring the obverse design, with scrolling foliate ornaments adorning the lower border of the frame. The broad flan displays the same lobed or scalloped rim treatment as the obverse, consistent with hand-struck Nepalese copper issues of the Surendra Vikrama reign. |
