| Obverse description | The obverse displays multiple lines of bold Persian-Nastaliq script filling the entire field, rendered in the characteristic Mughal hammered style with raised lettering on a dark recessed ground. The inscription, executed in large cursive characters, occupies the central field and is framed by a raised rim. Horizontal rules divide the legend into registers, a convention typical of late Mughal copper coinage. The script is boldly struck with slightly uneven surfaces consistent with hand-struck production. The overall design references the imperial Mughal epigraphic tradition, acknowledging the suzerainty of Shah Alam II. |
