| Reverse description | The reverse carries a multi-line Persian inscription occupying the central field, executed in a bold Naskh-style hand characteristic of Mysore copper coinage of the Purnaiya period. The legend comprises a religious or administrative formula without explicit denomination, consistent with the broader series of undated Mysore cash issues. The script is rendered in raised relief against a flat, largely unadorned field. No mint name, regnal date, or value indication appears within the inscription. The overall die-work is somewhat crude, reflecting the hand-struck production methods typical of small-denomination copper coinage from this mint. |
