Reverse description The reverse carries a multi-line Persian inscription in the field reading 'Tanke Akbarshahi' with the Bairata mint name, boldly struck in a hand typical of Mughal provincial copper issues. The legend occupies the majority of the field, arranged in horizontal lines with no border or decorative devices. The surface displays extensive green cuprite and malachite patination, and the flan edges are irregular and uneven, consistent with hand-hammered production at a provincial mint.
