| Obverse description | Crescent-shaped hammered silver flan bearing Nepalese script legends disposed across the field in two registers, with decorative pellet ornaments interspersed between the characters. The inscription, rendered in Devanagari script, is arranged to follow the curved form of the annular sector. The overall execution is characteristic of the crude hammered coinage produced at the Nepalese royal mint during the eighteenth century. |
