| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crude hammered field bearing Persian or Nagari inscription in multiple lines occupying the entire coin face, referencing the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan III as the nominal sovereign. The legends are deeply struck but irregular in execution, consistent with the primitive die-cutting practices of 18th-century Bhavnagar coinage. The surface shows characteristic granular texture and green copper patina. The inscription is arranged across the field without a formal border, in the tradition of contemporary Kathiawar princely copper issues. |

Bhavnagar was founded in 1724 by Bhavsinhji I, who established it as an independent Gohil Rajput principality carved from the fragmented Mughal periphery in Saurashtra. The coin nominally acknowledges Shah Jahan III, who held the Mughal throne for a matter of months in 1759 before being deposed — making his name on any issued coinage a marker of an unusually narrow political window. Provincial rulers across the subcontinent continued issuing copper in the emperor's name largely as a formality; actual authority had long since dispersed to regional powers like Bhavnagar itself.
