| Reverse description | The reverse is similarly composed of multiple lines of Nastaliq Arabic calligraphy arranged in two registers separated by a horizontal line, carrying the mint name, regnal year, and the Kalima or imperial formula. The field is richly decorated with scattered beaded pellet ornaments and small stylized beaded rosette flowers characteristic of late Mughal coinage. Additional floral ornaments appear in the lower portion of the field, and the overall composition retains the dense, manuscript-inspired aesthetic of Mughal silver coinage. |
