| Opschrift voorzijde | شاه عالم بادشاه حامي دين محمد ساى فضل لله سكة زد بر حفت كشور (Translation: Defender of the religion of Muhammad, Shah Alam Emperor Shadow of the divine favour, put his stamp on the seven climes, (ah date)) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | Circular Persian legend in Arabic script reading: 'Zarb Jahangirnagar sanat 6 julus maimanat manus', denoting the mint city of Jahangirnagar (present-day Dhaka) and the 6th regnal year of Shah Alam II's reign. As is characteristic of this fractional denomination, much of the legend falls beyond the flan edge, leaving only partial text visible on the struck surface. The field is plain with no central motif. The inscription follows the standard Mughal-style mint and regnal-year formula. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Shah Alam II was, by 1765, effectively a prisoner of his own nominal authority — the Diwani grant of that year handed the East India Company legal revenue administration over Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa, reducing the Mughal emperor to a figurehead whose name continued to appear on Company-struck coinage purely for commercial and political legitimacy in local markets. These fractional silver pieces circulated in a Bengal economy still deeply suspicious of anything that didn't carry Mughal regnal styling.
