Significance

The designs on these coins remained unchanged from 1812 until 1878 . If the date appears on the coin it can be attributed to a particular ruler. This is not the case on this coin although in the past the large characters in the third quarter of the reverse have been seen as the final numbers 50 (if Sanskrit) or 60 (if Hyderbad).
