| Reverse description | Central field displaying a multi-line Persian legend in Nastaliq script, largely off-flan in typical fashion for hammered Mughal issues struck at Bombay. The inscription reads 'Zarb Munbai sanat (RY)2 julus maimanat manus' (Struck at Bombay in the 2nd year of tranquil prosperity), identifying the Bombay mint and the regnal year of Emperor Alamgir II. Text is arranged in horizontal registers, frequently truncated at the coin's irregular hammered edge. |
