| Reversbeschreibung | 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. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Alamgir II ruled the Mughal Empire from 1754 until his murder in 1759, yet the East India Company continued striking coins in his name for decades after his death — a calculated fiction maintained to ease acceptance among populations who still recognized Mughal monetary authority. By 1817, the Company had effectively governed Bengal for half a century, but abandoning the imperial name entirely carried political risks they were not yet willing to take.
The Farrukhabad mint, responsible for much of this series, was operating under Company supervision by this point.
