| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Persian legend in Naskh script arranged across the field, reading 'Zarb Arcat sanat 6 julus maimanat manus', identifying the mint as Arcot and the regnal year as the 6th year of the emperor's reign. The inscription is arranged in four horizontal registers, with decorative dot ornaments scattered throughout the field. The deeply engraved calligraphy is crisp and typical of Madras Presidency milled coinage struck in the name of the Mughal emperor. |
