| Reverse description | The reverse bears a two-line Kannada inscription set horizontally across the central field, reading 'ಮಯಿಲಿ ಹಣ' (Mayili Hana), denoting the coin's denomination and type within the Mysore monetary system. The lettering is boldly rendered in the hammered style, with characters occupying the majority of the flan. A dotted or beaded border frames the inscription around the coin's periphery. The script is characteristic of the Kannada epigraphic tradition employed on Mysore princely issues of the early nineteenth century. The field shows typical die-struck texture consistent with hand-hammered silver coinage of this period. |
