| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing a partial Persian legend in the name of the Mughal emperor Ahmed Shah Bahadur, rendered in calligraphic Nastaliq script. The inscription occupies the central field and is surrounded by a plain, irregular border characteristic of hammered coinage. Several small pellets are disposed across the field as decorative or spacing elements. A crescent symbol appears in the lower portion of the field. The overall design is typical of late Mughal-style fractional rupees struck at provincial mints under Maratha suzerainty. |
