| Reverse description | Hammered reverse bearing a three-line Persian Nasta'liq inscription in the central field, divided by a horizontal rule. The legend reads 'Zarb Chinapatan / Sana 7 Julus / Maimanat Manus', denoting the mint city of Chinapatan (Madras), the regnal year of issue, and the auspicious epithet 'of fortunate aspect' associated with Muhammad Shah's coinage. The lettering is deeply struck in high relief, with the mint name prominently positioned in the uppermost register. The overall style follows the established Mughal rupee tradition adapted for East India Company-controlled minting at Chinapatan. |
