| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a multi-line Persian legend in Nastaliq script across three horizontal registers, recording the mint name, regnal year, and hijri date. A small floral or arrow-like ornament is visible in the central field, accompanied by scattered pellet clusters used as decorative fillers. The lower register contains the regnal year numeral, consistent with Mughal provincial practice of citing the emperor's regnal year alongside the local ruler's authority. The overall style is characteristic of the Farrukhabad mint under the Bangash Nawabs, with bold calligraphy in high relief on a broad, irregular flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Farrukhabad was founded by Muhammad Khan Bangash, an Afghan chieftain who carved out an autonomous state in the Gangetic plain during the decline of Mughal authority. Ahmed Khan, his successor, continued striking rupees in the name of the Mughal emperor — a political fiction by the mid-18th century, but a necessary one for commercial legitimacy across northern India. The coins circulated alongside issues from Awadh, Rohilkhand, and the crumbling imperial mints at Delhi, all of them nominally Mughal, none of them really so.
Farrukhabad rupees of this period are notoriously difficult to attribute precisely, as multiple successor states used nearly identical formats with overlapping regnal years.
