| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line inscription in a combination of Persian and Devanagari scripts, divided by a characteristic trident-like ornamental mark that serves as a distinctive feature of several coinage series of the Kutch princely state. The Persian legend identifies the mint city of Bhujnagar and the regnal year 9, while the Devanagari portion records the titles and name of Miraja Raja Maharau Shri Lakhpati. The division of scripts on a single face reflects the bilingual administrative tradition of Kutch, acknowledging both Mughal imperial convention and local Rajput identity. The legends fill the field entirely, with no subsidiary devices other than the trident separator. |
