Obverse description Hammered silver flan bearing a three-line Persian/Arabic calligraphic legend arranged in horizontal registers across the field, reading 'Sikka Mubarak Badshah Ghazi / Jahandar Shah / 1124', denoting the regnal title and Hijri year of Emperor Jahandar Shah. The inscription is enclosed within a beaded or linear border typical of late Mughal rupee coinage. The lettering is executed in the Naskh-influenced style characteristic of Mughal imperial mint production, with the royal epithet 'Ghazi' (warrior of the faith) prominently featured. The flat, irregular flan displays the characteristic texture of hand-struck hammered coinage.
