| Reverse description | The reverse presents three lines of Nastaliq Arabic-Persian script occupying the central field, recording the mint name and regnal year. The Arabic numeral ٦ (6), denoting the sixth regnal year, appears in the upper field alongside a stylised floral or trident ornament characteristic of Arcot mint issues. Groups of pellets are symmetrically distributed in the field as decorative fillers. The lower legend names the Arcot mint, with the full inscription reading 'Struck at Arcot in the 6th year.' The reeded edge is clearly visible around the coin's circumference. |
