Inscription in Persian, RY Date, Flower mint mark of Bundi.

Translation: RY 20

Comment

All of the coins of Bundi struck before the Mutiny (1857) are in the name of the Mughal emperor and bear one of the two marks on the reverse near the Regnal Year: A flower on all Mughal issues, and a tree-like only on Muhammad Akbar and Muhammad Bahadur issues.
