| Obverse description | Crudely struck field bearing a retrograde Tibetan script inscription filling the entire coin surface, the characters rendered in bold raised relief characteristic of Bhutanese hammered coinage. The inscription is arranged in multiple registers across the flan, with the letterforms appearing in mirror image as a result of the die-cutting technique employed. Pellets and ancillary marks appear within and between the characters depending on the variety. The irregular flan edges and uneven surface texture are consistent with hand-struck copper coinage of the Deb Raja period. |
