| Obverse description | Struck on a thick, irregularly shaped copper flan characteristic of Mughal hammered coinage, the obverse bears the imperial Arabic legend in bold Naskh script across the field, reading 'Shah Jahan Badshah Ghazi' — identifying the emperor Shah Jahan as the sovereign and holy warrior. The calligraphic inscription fills the flat field without a border, with individual letter strokes radiating prominently in high relief against the unadorned ground. The surface displays the typical fabric of Mughal copper coinage, with natural die-cutting irregularities and a patina of green cuprite corrosion consistent with extended burial or age. |
