| Obverse description | Crude Arabic inscription within the field, rendered in a native hand typical of Bhopal State coinage of the period. The legends, though crudely struck on an irregular flan, bear the regnal or mint inscription characteristic of the Nawabs of Bhopal. The surfaces show typical die-sinking irregularities consistent with hand-struck provincial coinage. The field is uneven with weak areas of strike common to this issue. |
