| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a multi-line Persian inscription in bold nasta'liq script, arranged in three curvilinear registers across the field, recording the mint name Agra, the regnal year, and the titles of the emperor Jahangir. The legend is enclosed within a beaded border consistent with that of the obverse. The calligraphy is deeply struck and characteristic of the high-quality die-cutting associated with Mughal imperial gold coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Jahangir's zodiac mohurs occupy a peculiar place in Mughal numismatic history — orthodox Islamic scholars objected strenuously to figural coinage, yet Jahangir, whose appetite for painting and naturalistic art was well documented, pushed through the series regardless. The Leo type was struck at Agra across several regnal years, with the specific year determinable only from the reverse inscription.
Contemporary accounts, including passages from Jahangir's own memoir the Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri, confirm he took personal interest in the coinage designs. These were never intended as pocket change — distribution was ceremonial, as nazrana gifts to favored nobles and courtiers.
