| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing a multi-line Persian legend in bold Nastaliq script, struck in the name of the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II. The inscription is arranged across two registers separated by a ruled horizontal line, with the imperial titles and regnal year rendered in large, fluid calligraphic strokes filling the entire field. The script shows characteristic features of late Mughal coinage, with broad, deeply impressed letters on an irregular, uneven flan. The regal formula occupies the upper and lower panels, with additional calligraphic elements in the periphery. |
