| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a Sagittarius (centaur) depicted with head and upper torso facing right while the body gallops left, with bow drawn and arrow prepared to fire; a radiate sun rises behind the figure. The design reflects the zodiacal imagery associated with Emperor Jahangir's birth sign and his celebrated series of zodiac mohurs. The composition is rendered in the finely hammered style characteristic of Mughal gold coinage of the early seventeenth century. |
