背面描述	The reverse displays a two-line Arabic inscription in bold Naskh script divided by a central horizontal line, reading 'Zarb Bhopal' (Struck at Bhopal) above the line and 'Shah Jahan Begum' below, identifying the issuing ruler and mint. A small crescent or star ornament appears in the upper field, consistent with Bhopal princely coinage conventions. The legends are set within a plain circular border, following the Mughal-derived style characteristic of late 19th-century Indian princely state issues.

附加信息	Shah Jahana Begum ruled Bhopal from 1868 to 1901, one of four successive women who governed the state across most of the nineteenth century — an unbroken female succession unique among the princely states. Her coins were struck under continued British suzerainty, but Bhopal's nawabs retained the right to issue regal coinage, a privilege many contemporaneous states had already surrendered by this period. The KM#28.1 and 28.2 varieties differ in die details accumulated across the production run, reflecting the informal minting practices of smaller state operations rather than any deliberate design revision.
