| Beschrijving keerzijde | Arabic inscriptions in the Mughal hammered tradition occupy the full field, divided by a horizontal line separating the upper and lower legend bands. The upper portion bears the mint name Jahangirnagar and the lower portion contains the regnal year in Arabic numerals. The calligraphy is executed in a bold Naskh hand typical of Mughal provincial coinage, with the date expressed in the Ilahi or Hijri calendar era. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Jahangirnagar — the city Jahangir renamed after himself — is present-day Dhaka, established as a Mughal provincial mint following the consolidation of Bengal under imperial control in the early seventeenth century. The mint operated under considerable logistical strain given Bengal's distance from the imperial core at Agra, and die workmanship from Jahangirnagar is noticeably less refined than contemporary Agra or Lahore output. Jahangir was himself obsessed with coinage as an art form — he commissioned some of the most ambitious portrait and zodiac issues in Mughal numismatic history — which makes the workaday provincial rupees from this mint a striking contrast to his ambitions.
