The inscription around the rim reads '1881 [1824] Sri Akal Sahai Hari Singh'. The name Hari Singh probably relates to Hari Singh Nalwa (1791-1837), Commander-in-chief of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. 'Sri Akal Sahai' or 'God, our Help' was also inscribed on the official state seal during the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh (R. Bakshi, R. Pathak, Studies in Contemporary Indian History – Punjab Through the Ages, New Delhi, 2010, p.209).
