| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing three lines of Nastaliq Arabic calligraphy divided by a horizontal ruled line. The upper register reads 'Sikka Mubarak / Badshah Ghazi' and the lower register bears the imperial name 'Alamgir II'. The legends are boldly struck in deep relief characteristic of Mughal-style rupees issued under VOC authority. The field is plain with slight irregularities typical of hand-struck coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | Reverse displays three lines of Nastaliq Arabic calligraphy in deep relief, separated by a horizontal ruled line. The upper register bears the auspicious epithet 'Maimanat Manus' (auspicious companion), the middle line records 'Sana Julus' (regnal year), and the lower register carries the mint name 'Zarb Jagannathpuram' (struck at Jagannathpur). The style follows standard Mughal rupee conventions, with the mint signature prominently placed in the lower field. The irregular flan edges and tool marks are consistent with hand-hammered production at a provincial VOC-controlled mint. |
