| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing a two-line Persian-script legend in the field, reading the royal title and name of the Mughal emperor Ahmed Shah Bahadur. A horizontal dividing line separates the upper and lower registers of the inscription. The legend is rendered in bold Naskh calligraphy characteristic of mid-18th-century Mughal coinage. The field is plain with no additional decorative devices, and the coin retains a slightly irregular flan edge typical of hand-struck production. |
