| Reverse description | The reverse field carries the mint and regnal year inscription in bold Nasta'liq script, disposed across two registers separated by a horizontal ruled line. The upper register contains the mint name Shahjahanabad (Delhi) with the word jalus or sanah indicating the regnal year, while the lower register bears the hijri date and regnal year numeral. Floral rosette ornaments punctuate the field, and a beaded border frames the entire design. The calligraphy is deeply struck and fluid, consistent with standard Mughal gold mohur die-engraving practice at the imperial Shahjahanabad mint. |
