| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is similarly divided into two registers by a horizontal ruled line within a plain circular border. The upper register carries the Persian legend 'Jalus Sanah 12', denoting the 12th regnal year of Emperor Akbar II's accession, rendered in Nastaliq script. The lower register bears the mint name 'Ahmadabad' in bold Arabic script, identifying the place of striking. The layout and purely epigraphic style mirror the obverse, following standard Mughal-era copper coinage practice. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Muhammad Akbar II was Mughal emperor in name only — by 1818 the East India Company had reduced the throne to a pension and a walled compound in Delhi. The Bombay Presidency's decision to strike coins in his name was a calculated political gesture, maintaining the fiction of Mughal suzerainty while real administrative authority rested entirely with Company officials. The practice of issuing coins under nominal Mughal authority was already being wound down across other presidencies by this period.
The series was short-lived, discontinued by 1821 as the Company moved toward consolidating its own unambiguous coinage identity across Indian territories.
