| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse bears multiple lines of Nastaliq Arabic script arranged across the full field, divided by horizontal ruled lines and surrounded by a beaded border. The inscriptions reference the Mughal imperial legend in the name of Bahadur Shah II, with the AH date prominently incorporated into the design. The script is rendered in a flowing calligraphic style characteristic of late Mughal-period Indian coinage. Decorative floral or foliate elements accompany the lettering, filling the spaces between the ruled lines. |

Nazarana rupees were not struck for circulation. They were presentation pieces — ceremonially offered as tribute or given as gifts during durbars and formal court occasions — and the squarish, broader flan was a deliberate marker of that elevated purpose. Jaipur's issues under this joint attribution reflect the administrative fiction of the period: Ram Singh II acceded in 1835 under a regency, and coins naming Victoria alongside the maharaja acknowledged the paramount power of the Crown without erasing local dynastic identity.
The broad flan means dies were often not centered with precision, making fully struck examples genuinely uncommon.
