| Aversbeschreibung | Irregular square flan struck by hammering, displaying bold Arabic calligraphy in the central field. The legend is rendered in a cursive Naskh-derived style typical of Mughal copper coinage, with interlocking strokes characteristic of the Ujjain mint's workmanship. The inscription occupies nearly the entire face, framed by the naturally uneven edges of the hand-cut planchet. Relief is strong at center, diminishing toward the periphery as is common with hammered Mughal falus issues. |

| Reversbeschreibung | 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. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Shah Jahan's copper coinage has long been overshadowed by his silver and gold issues, but the half falus from Ujjain mint represents a genuinely local circulation piece — produced for everyday transactions in a city that had been an important commercial and religious center long before the Mughals absorbed it. Ujjain's mint was intermittently active under the later Mughals, and copper issues from provincial mints like this one were rarely shipped far from their point of striking.
KM#201.1 distinguishes Ujjain-struck pieces within a broader type, though die workmanship on provincial copper was inconsistent enough that attribution sometimes relies on mint name placement alone.
