| Reverse description | The reverse displays a loosely arranged field of Latin script lettering, rendered in a rough and informal manner consistent with hammered copper coinage of the Rewa princely state. The inscription, reading 'Sree Rama dheke ree,' is a devotional appeal translating to 'Lord Ram watch over us,' reflecting the Hindu religious tradition of the issuing ruler. The characters are irregularly spaced and unevenly struck across the flan, with no formal border or decorative devices. The die work is primitive, typical of locally produced princely state issues of the period. |
