| Beschrijving keerzijde | Reverse field filled with the Kalima Shahada rendered in bold Naskh calligraphy across multiple lines, deeply struck in high relief on the irregular hammered flan. An anchor-shaped mint mark, identifying the Bhakkar mint, appears prominently within the field. The marginal legend incorporates the names of the four Rightly Guided Caliphs (Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali), a hallmark of Mughal Sunni coinage practice. The overall die work is vigorous though somewhat off-center, consistent with hand-struck production at a provincial mint. |

Bhakkar, a fortress town on an island in the Indus River, served as one of the Mughal Empire's strategically critical mints precisely because its geography made it nearly impregnable — the same quality that made it useful as a political prison for inconvenient nobles. Akbar standardized the rupee's weight at approximately 11.4 grams during his monetary reforms of the 1570s, a deliberate effort to unify a currency system inherited from Sher Shah Suri and fractured by decades of regional variation.
KM# 95.15 distinguishes this piece by mint attribution, and Bhakkar-struck rupees from this window are notably scarcer than contemporaneous output from Lahore or Agra.
