| Obverse lettering | ١١۷٢ محمد عالم كير عزيز الدين باد شاه غازي سكه مبارك (Translation: 1172 the auspicious coin of the Victorious Emperor, chosen of the faith of Muhammad, Alamgir.) |
| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Persian legend in Arabic script within a beaded border, identifying the mint city of Arcot (Arcat) and recording the sixth regnal year of the emperor's reign. The inscription reads 'Zarb Arcat sanat 6 julus maimanat manus', translating as 'Struck at Arcot in the 6th year of tranquil and auspicious reign.' The layout follows standard late Mughal provincial rupee conventions, with the mint name and regnal year prominently positioned in the field. |
