| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a bold relief depiction of the Gemini twins (Jawza), shown as two conjoined nude male figures facing and embracing one another, rendered in a stylized, naïve artistic manner characteristic of Jahangir's celebrated zodiac mohur series. The figures are set against a radiate sunburst background of incuse rays emanating outward toward the coin's rim, filling the entire field. The design reflects Emperor Jahangir's well-documented fascination with astrology and the natural world, making these zodiac issues among the most artistically distinctive coins of the Mughal period. No legend appears on this face; the imagery alone identifies the type within the series. |
