Obverse description The obverse bears a multi-line Persian calligraphic legend in Nastaliq script, arranged in horizontal registers across the field, reading from bottom to top: '1124 Ba zad bar meh sikka sahib-e-qiran Jahandar Shah Badshah-e-Jahan' (Year 1124, struck upon the moon, coin of the Lord of the Auspicious Conjunction, Jahandar Shah, King of the World). The inscription is boldly struck in raised relief against a flat, undecorated field. The regnal year 1124 AH (1712 CE) appears at the base of the legend. The coin exhibits the characteristic Mughal hammered fabric with slightly irregular flan edges.
