| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a multi-line Persian inscription arranged in two registers separated by a horizontal line, reading the regnal title and year of Shah Alam II. Below the dividing line, a stylized trident or floral ornamental device occupies the lower field, serving as a mint or decorative mark. The legend is rendered in bold Naskh-style script within a plain circular border, typical of Bengal Presidency copper coinage of the early nineteenth century. The overall design reflects the Mughal administrative tradition maintained by the East India Company on its subsidiary coinage. |
