| Reverse description | The reverse displays three lines of Persian Naskh script arranged horizontally across the field, recording the mint epithet 'Mehr' (Sun) at top, followed by the mint name 'Zarb Sitpur' (struck at Sitpur), and the regnal year 'Ilahi 48' at the base, denoting the 48th year of Akbar's Divine Era calendar. The lettering is bold and somewhat compressed to fit the irregular flan, with characteristic Mughal calligraphic flourishes. The field shows the typical granular surface texture of hammered silver coinage, with no formal border design. |
