| Reverse description | The reverse is similarly dominated by bold Arabic legends in the distinctive thick-legend style, divided by a horizontal line across the field. The regnal year (RY) of Shah Alam II is inscribed within the lower register, while the upper register carries additional elements of the imperial formula. The large, deeply struck characters with their characteristic dot ornamentation reflect the robust die-engraving tradition of the Gwalior mint under Mahadji Rao Scindia. |
