| Obverse script | Arabic |
| Obverse lettering | محمد عالم كير عزيز الدين باد شاه غازي سكه مبارك (Translation: the auspicious coin of the Victorious Emperor 'Alamgir, chosen of the faith of Muhammad) |
| Reverse description | The reverse carries a multi-line Persian legend in Naskh script denoting the mint name and regnal year, arranged in the traditional Mughal format across the field. The central inscription reads 'Zarb Arkat sanat (RY) 6 julus maimanat manus,' indicating the coin was struck at the Arcot mint in the sixth regnal year of auspicious accession. Pellet ornaments punctuate the field between lines of text, serving both as decorative fillers and spacers consistent with Mughal minting practice. The calligraphy is executed in bold, sweeping strokes typical of the mid-eighteenth-century Arcot issues. The regnal year numeral '6' appears frozen on later strikings of this type, a common Mughal convention for continued issues. |
