| Reverse description | Hammered silver flan with three horizontal registers of calligraphic Nasta'liq Arabic legend enclosed within linear borders. The uppermost band carries the phrase 'Julus Maimanat Manus' (the auspicious accession), a standard Mughal regnal formula. The central band bears 'Sanah' (year) followed by the regnal year numeral, and the lower register reads 'Zarb Lahore' (struck at Lahore), identifying the mint of issue. The overall strike is typical of mid-18th century Lahore mint production, with characteristic bold calligraphic forms on an irregularly shaped flan. |
