| Reverse description | The reverse presents multiple lines of bold Persian-Nastaliq script arranged in horizontal registers across the full field, consistent with the hammered Mughal provincial coinage tradition. The legends, raised in relief against a darkened field, reference the mint or issuing authority of Bindraban and are enclosed by a plain raised rim. A horizontal rule separates the upper and lower portions of the inscription. The strike is characteristically irregular at the periphery, and the flan shows slight curvature typical of cast or hand-cut copper planchets. The calligraphic style is consistent with late eighteenth-century North Indian copper issues struck in the name of the Mughal emperor. |
