| Reverse description | The reverse displays a two-line Persian Nastaliq inscription occupying the full field, reading 'Shah Jahan Begum' above and 'Pau Rupiyah' (quarter rupee) below, separated by a horizontal line dividing the flan. The bold, deeply struck calligraphy is characteristic of Bhopal Mint hand-cut dies of the period. The legends identify both the ruling begum and the denomination, with the inscription closely approaching the rim on all sides. |
