| Obverse description | Central field bears three horizontal lines of Persian calligraphic legend in bold Nasta'liq script, invoking divine sanction and the royal titles of Shah Alam II. The inscribed area is enclosed within a finely rendered wreath of stylized leaves and floral elements, with small blossoms at the cardinal points along the outer border. The overall design is characteristic of late Mughal hammered gold coinage, emphasizing calligraphy as the primary decorative and identifying element. |
