| Reverse description | The reverse field is similarly divided into horizontal registers by incised ruled lines, entirely filled with Persian calligraphic legends in Nasta'liq script. The upper register carries the auspicious accession formula 'Jalus Maimanat Maqrun', followed in the central register by the regnal year (Sanah) and the epithet 'Mustaqarul Khilafa'. The lower register records the mint name Akbarabad (present-day Agra), the seat of Mughal imperial authority. The deeply cut letters and bold strokes are characteristic of mid-18th century Mughal silver coinage, with the reverse also exhibiting the slightly uneven strike typical of hand-hammered production. |
