| Beschrijving keerzijde | Reverse bears a multi-line Arabic inscription in bold Naskh script, filling the central field and arranged across several registers. The legends record the mint epithet and regnal references consistent with Mughal Urdu (military camp) issues of the AH 105x decade, corresponding to the reign of Shah Jahan. The script is vigorously cut but somewhat roughly executed, as typical of anonymous camp mint coppers. The flan edges are irregular with pronounced lobation from the hammering process. No decorative border is present. |

The Urdu mint — "urdu" being the Persian/Turkic word for military camp, the same root that gave the Hindustani language its name — was a mobile facility that traveled with the imperial army, striking coin to pay troops in the field. Shah Jahan's campaigns of the 1640s, particularly the prolonged and ultimately failed effort to retake Samarkand and Balkh, drove heavy demand for field-struck copper coinage. Anonymous issues like this fals carry no ruler's name, a deliberate choice that simplified die production under campaign conditions.
