The upper register carries the formula 'سنه جلوس میمنت مانوس' (Sana Julus Maimanat Manus — the auspicious year of accession), while the lower register records the mint name 'ضرب بریلی' (Zarb Bareli — struck at Bareli). Floral or pellet ornaments punctuate the field. The regnal year (RY) and Hijri year appear on individual specimens within this series, consistent with standard Mughal rupee practice at provincial mints. |
