| Reverse description | Irregular hammered copper flan with a bold bilingual legend occupying the central field. The upper portion bears the Latin initials 'J.W.H.' (for Jan Willem Hessing, the Dutch-born commander who controlled Agra), prominently raised in Roman characters. Below, an Arabic Nastaliq inscription renders the mint and regnal formula, reading 'Sanah Jalus / Zarb Mustaqir al-Khilafat', denoting the year of accession and the strike at the 'Seat of the Caliphate' — the traditional epithet of the Akbarabad (Agra) mint. The combination of Latin initials with Persian mint legend is highly distinctive of this issuer. |
