| Reverse description | Hammered reverse bearing a multi-line Persian inscription recording the regnal year and mint name, divided by a horizontal line into upper and lower registers in the standard Mughal rupee format. The upper field contains the julus (accession) date notation indicating regnal year 9 of Muhammad Akbar II, while the lower field bears the mint name 'Sipri' (سپری) in bold calligraphy. A small Devanagari character 'ज' appears in the field as a mint or die-keeper's mark, a feature characteristic of Gwalior Sipri mint issues of this era. The inscription is executed in a robust Naskh hand with relatively thick strokes suited to the hammered production technique. The irregular flan edge and slightly off-center strike are consistent with the artisanal nature of this coinage. |
