1/2 Rupee / Deb Period III

Beschrijving voorzijde	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.

Beschrijving keerzijde	Retrograde Tibetan script inscription covering the entire reverse field, similarly struck in bold raised relief and appearing in mirror image. The characters are arranged across multiple registers, with the specific arrangement and accompanying devices — including dots, pellets, or a crescent with two dots above — varying according to the sub-variety (KM#A8.1 through A8.4). The overall execution reflects the characteristic primitive style of Bhutanese hammered copper coinage of the Deb Period III.
