| Reverse description | Hammered reverse displaying the mint and regnal year inscription in Nasta'liq calligraphy across the field, without a dividing line. The legend records the mint name Surat (ضرب سورت) and the regnal year six (٦) of Ahmad Shah Bahadur's reign, corresponding to AH 1166 (1753 CE). Additional ornamental pellet and lozenge devices are visible in the field, serving as mint or die marks consistent with Surat mint practice. The flan edges are irregular, reflecting the hand-struck hammered technique standard for Mughal half-rupee coinage. |
