| Reverse description | Hammered reverse displaying a prominent trident-like or star-burst symbol radiating from the centre of the flan, serving as the principal device of the Bhopal princely coinage. Surrounding the central symbol, a Persian legend in Naskh script records the regnal year (julus) and the word 'zarb' (struck), indicating the date of issue within the reign of Muhammad Akbar II. The design is characteristically bold but irregularly struck, with the legend sometimes partially off-flan. The trident symbol is considered a dynastic or mint mark distinctive to Bhopal issues of this period. |
