| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Persian legend in Naskh script, similarly bisected by a horizontal line running across the coin field. The upper register bears the mint name and the lower register the regnal year formula. The inscription reads 'Zarb Munbai Sanat Julus Maimanat Manus' — 'Struck at Bombay during the year of his auspicious reign' — with the regnal year (RY 9) filled in according to the specific year of striking. The lettering is bold and deeply struck, consistent with the hammered technique employed at the Bombay Presidency mint for this series. |
