| Obverse description | The obverse displays bold Arabic calligraphy in the Naskh script arranged in horizontal registers across the field, enclosed within a plain linear border. The central legend reads the kalima, the Islamic profession of faith, in large, sweeping strokes characteristic of Mughal hammered coinage. Additional inscriptions in the upper and lower registers record the regnal titulature of Emperor Jahangir. The coin bears a small hole, a common feature on circulated Mughal rupees used as personal adornments. |
