| Obverse description | The obverse bears a bold Persian inscription in the Nastaliq script, reading 'Zarb Bhopal' (struck at Bhopal) with the Hijri regnal year, arranged across the field in two or three lines. The lettering is deeply incuse and characteristic of the hand-engraved dies employed at the Bhopal Mint during the late 19th century. The inscription fills the circular flan with minimal surrounding field visible. |
