Reverse description Hammered silver reverse displaying a three-line Persian-Arabic calligraphic legend in bold Naskh script, arranged in registers divided by incuse horizontal lines. The upper register bears the mint name Ahmadabad (ضرب احمدآباد), while the lower register records the regnal year as the 6th year of the reign, described with the honorific epithet 'of tranquil prosperity' (سنه ٦ جلوس میمنت مانوس). Decorative pellets are scattered in the field, consistent with Mughal hammered coinage convention. The periphery retains traces of a beaded border, and the flan edges show the irregular profile typical of hand-struck rupees of this period.
