| Reverse description | The reverse presents Arabic calligraphic inscription in the typical Mughal-style format, with bold naskh characters occupying the field and divided by a prominent diagonal stroke. The Western date 1825 appears in a cartouche at the lower left, indicating the commencement year of the series. Additional calligraphic elements and floral or foliate devices fill the remaining portions of the field, referencing the Surat mint and the regnal year within the legend. The overall design reflects the hybrid Indo-British numismatic tradition of the Bombay Presidency during its final years of Mughal-type coinage. |
