| Obverse description | Central field depicts the zodiac figure of Virgo rendered in a distinctive stylistic treatment, the female figure shown in profile with dotted ornamentation representing drapery and jewelry. The effigy is surrounded by radiating sun rays extending toward the border. The outer border consists of a raised beaded (pearl) ring, a characteristic feature of Jahangir's zodiac mohur series. The design is executed in the hammered tradition of Mughal gold coinage, with the figural type showing notable variation from the standard Virgo representation, consistent with the "different type" classification. |
