| Reverse description | The reverse is covered entirely by the Kalima Tayyiba (Islamic declaration of faith) inscribed in bold, flowing Naskh Arabic calligraphy across the full field. The text reads 'La ilaha ill-Allah, Muhammadur Rasulullah' and is arranged in multiple lines, with the names of the four Rightly Guided Caliphs typically appearing in the surrounding legend. The high-relief lettering and irregular hammered flan are consistent with Mughal mint practice at Delhi during the reign of Akbar. |
