| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse field carries the Persian-script legend in two registers in Nasta'liq calligraphy, reading 'Julus Maimnat Manus Zarb Jaipur', identifying the mint city of Jaipur and recording the regnal year of Muhammad Shah's accession. The mint name 'Jaipur' is prominently placed within the lower register of the legend. Subsidiary dotted ornaments and foliate fillers occupy the interstitial spaces of the field. The hammered flan displays slightly uneven margins and characteristic die-struck relief consistent with Mughal provincial mint production. The inscription layout and style conform to the standard reverse type for Mughal rupees struck at the Jaipur mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Muhammad Shah's reign (1719–1748) coincided with the catastrophic Nadir Shah invasion of 1739, which stripped Delhi of an estimated 700 million rupees in treasure and bullion — effectively gutting the imperial mint's reserves. Provincial mints like Jaipur assumed greater practical importance in the aftermath, as the center's capacity to supply coinage to outlying regions collapsed. The Jaipur issues of this period circulated heavily in Rajputana trade networks operating semi-independently of Mughal fiscal control.
Muhammad Shah's reign is also notable for being the longest of any late Mughal emperor — nearly three decades of progressive fragmentation.
