| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays the mint and regnal year formula in Nasta'liq script, reading 'Zarb sanah julus' (struck in the year of accession) with the Hijri year and regnal year. The legend is disposed in two curved lines across the field, separated by a straight horizontal rule. The mint name Akbarabad (modern Agra) and the AH date appear in the lower register. Decorative pellets or rosettes punctuate the margins, and the broad flat rim is plain, typical of Mughal hammered silver rupees of the Muhammad Shah era. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Muhammad Shah inherited the throne in 1719 after a period of rapid succession that saw four emperors within a single year, each installed and removed by the Sayyid Brothers — kingmakers who effectively controlled the Mughal court. His 27-year reign was the longest of any late Mughal emperor, though it encompassed the catastrophic 1739 invasion of Nader Shah, whose sack of Delhi included the seizure of the Peacock Throne and an estimated 700 million rupees in treasure. Akbarabad — present-day Agra — remained an active imperial mint throughout, continuing output even as provincial governors grew increasingly autonomous.
KM#436.3 distinguishes the Akbarabad mint from the broader Muhammad Shah rupee series by mint mark placement on the reverse field.
