| Beschrijving voorzijde | The field displays a three-line Persian legend in Nastaliq script reading 'Sikka Badshah Ghazi Shah Jahan', arranged horizontally across the coin and separated by a raised linear border. The inscription, invoking the Mughal imperial title, occupies the full field with bold, deeply struck calligraphic characters. Small decorative pellet or annulet devices are visible in the upper portion of the field. The coin bears no mint date on this face, consistent with the undated (ND) classification. The overall style follows the standard Mughal hammered rupee fabric of the mid-eighteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Bengal Presidency rupee of this period occupies a peculiar moment in British-Indian monetary history: the East India Company was still striking coins in the name of the Mughal emperor Alamgir II, maintaining the fiction of Mughal authority even as Company power consolidated rapidly following Clive's victory at Plassey in 1757. The Murshidabad mint, which produced this type, had effectively passed into Company control by this point, though the coins gave no indication of it.
The KM#475.4 attribution reflects a specific regnal year and mint mark combination that distinguishes it within a dense web of closely related varieties — misidentification between these Presidency rupees remains routine even among specialist dealers.
