| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device depicting a stylized dhow or sailing vessel in low relief, showing a prominent triangular lateen sail above a horizontal waterline or deck element, with a dotted border or hull detail below. The design is boldly struck and occupies most of the flan, consistent with the hammered coinage tradition of the Janjira princely state. The irregular flan exhibits the characteristic copper patina of circulated Indian princely issues. No surrounding legend or inscription is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Janjira was one of the few princely states in India ruled by the Sidi dynasty — descendants of East African Habshi slaves and soldiers who had carved out an improbable coastal domain on Murud Island near the Konkan coast. By Ibrahim Khan III's reign, the state had survived Portuguese, Maratha, and Mughal pressure for over a century, a remarkable record for so small a polity. The Marathas never successfully stormed the island fortress despite repeated attempts.
