| Obverse description | Central field bears a Persian couplet in bold Nastaliq script incorporating the pre-accession name 'Salim Shah', arranged in two hemistich lines across the flan. The regnal year appears within or adjacent to the poetic verse. The inscription is rendered in the characteristic flowing Mughal calligraphic style with floral ornaments separating the lines. The legend fills the entire field to the coin's edge, leaving virtually no undecorated space. |
