| Reverse description | Central field bearing a bold nasta'liq calligraphic inscription in two or three lines, recording the regnal year (RY 49) and the mint name Lahore (لاهور), rendered in characteristic Mughal hammered style. The word 'Mihr' (month name in the Ilahi calendar) appears above, indicating the month of issue. The field is relatively plain around the inscription, with the coin's irregular flan showing evidence of hand-cutting and striking. The overall execution is consistent with the high-relief, compact format of Akbari half-rupee fractions from the Lahore mint. |
