| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Persian or Urdu inscription in Nastaliq script, presenting the royal titles and name of the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II. The calligraphic legends are arranged in flowing diagonal bands across the flan, characteristic of the Maratha-era rupee coinage tradition. The struck surface displays the bold, hand-engraved style typical of Indian princely state issues of the late 19th century. |
