| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ahmad Shah Bahadur inherited the Mughal throne in 1748 following the death of Muhammad Shah, by which point the empire had been gutted — Nadir Shah's 1739 sack of Delhi had stripped the treasury of an estimated 700 million rupees in coin, bullion, and jewels. The Lahore mint continued operating through Ahmad Shah's reign largely because Punjab remained under nominal Mughal control, though Sikh misls and Afghan pressure from Durrani campaigns were eroding that hold year by year.
Ahmad Shah was deposed and blinded by his own wazir in 1754, ending this issue's production run.
