| Obverse description | Central field displays the imperial legend in bold Nasta'liq calligraphy arranged in three horizontal registers separated by raised linear borders, reading the name and titles of Emperor Muhammad Shah. The uppermost register carries the emperor's name, the broad central band bears the epithet 'Badshah Ghazi', and the lower register contains the mint name Kora. Decorative floral or pellet ornaments punctuate the field between inscriptions, a hallmark of Mughal rupee design. The entire composition fills the flan to its edges in the characteristic hammered style of the period. |
