Obverse description Central depiction of the zodiac sign Virgo rendered as a winged maiden (angel-like figure) shown in three-quarter view, with long flowing hair and draped robes, holding a large feather or palm frond in her right hand and a flowering branch to her left. The figure stands within a plain inner field, surrounded by a beaded border. The design reflects the celebrated series of zodiac mohurs issued under Emperor Jahangir, notable for their highly pictorial and naturalistic artistic style blending Mughal and European iconographic influences.
