| Reverse description | Stylized Nagari legend 'OMKARA' arranged within a rectangular panel, presented in a highly schematized geometric form typical of late medieval Malwa billon coinage. The characters are boldly rendered in a compressed, almost abstract Devanagari script, filling the available field. The overall composition is enclosed within a roughly circular flan with irregular edges, a hallmark of hammered Gadhaiya issues. The geometric treatment of the lettering reflects the degenerate calligraphic tradition of the Malwa Gadhaiya series. |
