| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing a bold Persian legend in large Naskh script divided into two registers by a horizontal line across the field. The upper register carries the name and titles of the Mughal emperor Ahmad Shah Bahadur, while the lower register contains the kalima or royal epithet. Decorative pellet ornaments are visible in the field flanking the inscriptions, characteristic of Mughal rupee coinage of this period. The overall style is typical of mid-18th century Mughal hammered coinage, with slightly irregular flan edges and deeply struck calligraphic lettering. |
