| Obverse description | The obverse features a multi-line Persian/Nastaliq script legend occupying the field, divided by a horizontal line into two registers in the traditional Mughal coin format. The upper register contains the royal name and titles of the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II, while the lower register displays the regnal year. The script is boldly struck in high relief against a flat, unadorned field, consistent with the hammered coinage conventions of late Mughal-era princely state issues. |
