| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crude hammered copper flan bearing bold Arabic script legends distributed across the field in multiple lines. The inscription is struck in high relief against a rough, uneven surface typical of Indian princely state hammered coinage. The characters, though worn and partially indistinct due to corrosion, follow the conventions of Mughal-influenced epigraphic design. The rim is irregular and unfinished, consistent with the hand-struck production technique of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Janjira was one of the few princely states in British India whose ruling dynasty — the Nawabs of Janjira — descended from Sidi commanders, East African sailors of Abyssinian origin who had served as admirals under the Mughals and successfully resisted every Maratha and Portuguese assault on their island fortress for centuries. The right to strike coinage was among the jealously retained privileges that confirmed their autonomous status.
The island fort of Murud-Janjira, never taken by force, gave the state an unusual degree of negotiating leverage with surrounding powers well into the colonial period.
