| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a three-line Persian legend in bold Naskh script, divided by two curved parallel bands across the field, recording the mint name Murshidabad and the frozen regnal year 19. The frozen regnal year '١٩' (19) is prominently inscribed in the upper register, flanked by two floral or asterisk ornaments at the upper left and right of the field. The lower register carries the mint designation 'Zarb Murshidabad,' identifying the place of striking, consistent with standard Bengal Presidency Mughal-style gold coinage of this period. The milled edge is visible along the coin's periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Shah Alam II died in 1806, yet the Bengal Presidency continued striking coins in his name for decades afterward — a deliberate fiction maintained to ease acceptance among Indian merchants and money-changers who trusted the established imperial types. The practice was entirely legal under the fiction of Mughal suzerainty, and the East India Company saw no reason to abandon a formula that worked.
KM#110 quarter mohurs of this frozen-date type were produced at the Calcutta mint well into the 1820s.
