| Obverse description | Hammered silver rupee struck in the Mughal style, featuring a three-line Persian calligraphic inscription within a plain rectangular cartouche divided by a horizontal line. The legend reads 'sikka mubarak / badshah ghazi / Shah Alam II' in bold Naskh script, invoking the Mughal emperor as the nominal sovereign. The field surrounding the cartouche bears floral or scrolling marginal legends in the traditional Mughal fashion. The overall style is consistent with late Mughal provincial coinage, with characteristic uneven flan edges typical of hammered production. |
