| Reverse description | Reverse of this hammered copper half-falus displaying Arabic calligraphic inscription in the central field, identifying the mint city of Ujjain. The lettering is deeply struck in a bold, somewhat crude style consistent with provincial Mughal copper coinage of the mid-seventeenth century. The flan is irregular and square in form, with rough, uneven edges typical of hand-cut copper planchets of this series. The flat field shows natural surface texture and patination consistent with age and circulation. |
