| Reverse description | Square hammered flan bearing a three-line Arabic legend in Naskh script within a plain rectilinear border, with additional marginal inscription running along the outer frame. The central field displays the regnal name and titles of the emperor: 'Jalal al-Din Muhammad Akbar / Badshah Ghazi / Lahore', identifying the sovereign, his honorific title as warrior of the faith, and the mint city. The calligraphy is boldly engraved with characteristic Mughal die-work, showing strong relief and confident strokes. The mint name 'Lahore' appears prominently in the lower register, serving as a key identifier for this issue among Akbar's extensive square rupee series. |
