Gadhaiya Paisa - Battle Series Paramaras of Malwa ND

Reverse

Scene of battle field - Trotting Horse with soldier astride, brandishing a sword & a bow is depicted behind the soldier: in front of the Soldier (top right) there's a Circle

note: in all variants in the series there's a Circle shown in front (top right) of the soldier, Maheshwari has described it as a Shield;
with a recent discovery of a set of Battle coins including 1 inscribed in name of Devapala, this description may change to Sun (day time) instead of Shield as there's 1 coin showing a Star (night time)
