| Obverse description | The obverse displays bold Naskh Arabic calligraphy filling the central field, presenting the imperial Mughal legend attributing the coin to Emperor Alamgir II. The inscription is arranged in multiple registers across the flan, with the Hijri date 1188 prominently featured. Decorative pellets and floral ornaments punctuate the lettering, characteristic of late Mughal coinage style. The legend reads in translation: 'The auspicious coin of the Victorious Emperor, Alamgir.' The overall presentation is typical of the frozen-date rupee series struck by the Bombay Presidency in the name of the Mughal emperor. |
