| Reverse description | Hammered silver field displaying multiple horizontal registers of Persian-script legend in flowing, bold strokes, referencing the royal consort Pramateswari Devi and the Ahom kingdom's sovereignty. Decorative dot rosette ornaments are scattered throughout the field as embellishments between lines of text. The overall style is consistent with the Ahom coinage tradition of the early eighteenth century, combining Mughal-influenced calligraphic conventions with indigenous Assamese numismatic practice. |
