| Reverse description | The reverse field displays Arabic calligraphic inscription in flowing Mughal-style script, accompanied by foliate and floral decorative devices including a prominent stylized plant or tree motif with dotted pellet clusters, typical of Kishangarh coinage of this era. The inscription is arranged in horizontal registers across the flan. Decorative vine or leaf scrollwork fills portions of the field surrounding the legend. The strike is bold with clear relief, consistent with hammered gold coinage technique. Pellet borders or partial ornamental framing are visible along the periphery. |

The X# prefix in the reference places this squarely in Krause's catalog of non-standard issues — a designation that in this case signals something the name already admits: this is a modern concoction, not a genuine 18th-century mint product. Kishangarh was a small Rajput state in present-day Rajasthan, and while it did produce coinage under Mughal imperial names as was conventional for tributary states, this particular piece was fabricated after the fact, likely for the collector market that developed around Indian princely state coins in the 20th century.
