Obverse description Irregular hammered bronze flan bearing a two-line Arabic legend in the field, reading the royal titulature of Shah Alam Bahadur. The inscription, executed in a rough naskh hand characteristic of provincial Mughal copper coinage, occupies the central field within a plain border. The striking is somewhat weak and off-centre, as is typical of dam-denomination coppers of this reign. The flat, unornamented field reflects the utilitarian nature of bazaar currency at this period.
