| Reverse description | The reverse displays multi-line Persian Nasta'liq calligraphy arranged across the flan within incuse linear borders, presenting the mint name Bagalkot and the regnal year in AH dating. Bold, sweeping letterforms dominate the field, with decorative pellets interspersed between the inscriptions in typical Maratha-era Mughal-style coinage. The flan edges are irregular and slightly ragged, characteristic of the hammered technique employed at provincial mints of this period. The engraving is robust and deeply struck, reflecting the vigorous hand-die work of the mint. |
