| Obverse description | Heavily corroded copper flan bearing traces of Arabic calligraphic inscription in the central field, characteristic of Mughal hammered coinage. The legends, though partially obscured by patination and surface corrosion, appear to carry the regnal name or titles of Emperor Aurangzeb Alamgir. The irregular, roughly circular flan is typical of provincial hammered issues. The field is flat with no decorative border visible. Overall fabric consistent with small copper fractions struck at the Surat mint. |
