| Reverse description | The reverse presents a three-line Persian legend in Nastaliq script arranged centrally within the field, reading 'شاہ عالم / بادشاہ غازی / سکہ مبارک' (Shah Alam / Badshah Ghazi / Sikka Mubarak), translating as 'Shah Alam, the Warrior King, the Auspicious Coin.' The inscription acknowledges the nominal Mughal suzerainty of Emperor Shah Alam II, under whose name the Bharatpur rulers issued currency. The strike is characteristically weak and irregular, with the legend partially obscured by patination and surface wear. No border or decorative elements surround the inscription field. |
