| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing a multi-line Persian nastaliq inscription arranged in two or three registers separated by decorative linear borders. The central field carries the imperial kalima or regnal legend of Aurangzeb (Alamgir), rendered in bold, flowing nastaliq script. Portions of the mint name and regnal year appear in the lower register or margin. The overall style is characteristic of late Mughal hammered rupees, with the legend filling the field to the edges of the irregular flan. |

| Additional information |
Gokak, a minor mint town in the Deccan, became active during Aurangzeb's prolonged southern campaigns — a military commitment that consumed the last three decades of his reign and ultimately drained the empire's administrative coherence. The honorary title "Abdul Rauf Khan Diler Jang" appearing on this issue identifies the mint master rather than the emperor, a naming convention that creates persistent attribution headaches for collectors working across provincial Mughal issues.
KM#377.27 is among the scarcer Gokak attributions in the series.
