| Obverse description | The obverse bears multiple horizontal lines of Nastaliq Arabic script filling the central field, presenting the royal Mughal title and name. The legend reads in Arabic, identifying the coin as the auspicious coin of Muhammad Alamgir, Victorious Emperor and Chosen of the Faith. The inscriptions are arranged in three or four registers across the flan, characteristic of Mughal-era rupee coinage. A beaded border frames the entire design. The script is deeply struck and typical of Arcot Mint production. |
