| Reverse description | Reverse die bears multiple lines of Arabic Naskh-script legends in bold raised relief, displaying the mint name Dogaon (داگاون) and additional regnal or formulaic inscriptions typical of Akbar-period copper dams. The flan is irregular and thick, characteristic of hand-hammered Mughal copper issues, with a heavily textured surface showing green and brown patination. The lettering fills the field without a decorative border, consistent with the utilitarian nature of base-metal coinage under Akbar. Slight die wear and striking irregularities are evident across the surface. |
