| Reverse description | Reverse displays a Persian inscription in Naskh script arranged in two horizontal lines across the heavily worn field, reading 'Shah Alam', a reference to the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II (r. 1759–1806) in whose name the coin was nominally struck. A horizontal dividing line separates the two registers of text. The legends are crudely executed and somewhat compressed, reflecting the rudimentary engraving standards of this provincial hammered issue. |
