| Reverse description | The reverse displays bold Arabic calligraphic legends arranged in two or three lines across the central field, consistent with Mughal copper coinage conventions identifying the mint name Surat and regnal year or formula. The script is rendered in a cursive Naskh style with characteristic fluid strokes visible despite the heavy green and brown patination covering the surface. The flan edges are irregular and slightly squared, as is typical of hand-struck Mughal copper fractions. No decorative border or inner circle is discernible. The overall die work is robust and legible despite the coin's worn condition. |
