| Reverse description | Persian legend in Nastaliq script arranged in horizontal registers, presenting the julus (accession) formula recording the regnal year together with the mint name Arkat (Arcot). The inscription is divided by ruled lines into distinct panels, a standard feature of Mughal-style hammered rupee coinage. The legend is deeply incuse and robust, consistent with the hand-struck technique employed at the Arkat mint. |
