| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely epigraphic, displaying five lines of elegant Nasta'liq calligraphy arranged in three registers separated by raised horizontal rules. The central and dominant band carries the name 'Jahandar Shah Padshah Jahan' — 'Jahandar Shah, King of the World' — flanked by the poetic couplet 'Ba zad sikka bar zar chu mehr o mah' ('He struck a coin upon gold like the sun and moon'). The lower register records the mint name Akbarabad and the regnal date Sanah 1124, Julus 1 (Hijri year 1124, first year of accession). The deeply struck, bold characters fill the flan with authority, characteristic of early eighteenth-century Mughal gold coinage. |
