| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing the royal legend in bold Nasta'liq calligraphy arranged in two horizontal registers separated by a ruled line. The central field carries the regal formula acknowledging the emperor as Badshah Ghazi, with the word 'Muhammad Shah' prominently rendered in the lower register. Scattered pellet ornaments appear in the field, and a partial outer border inscription frames the design. The irregular flan edges are characteristic of hand-struck Mughal coinage of this period. |
