| Obverse description | The obverse field bears multiple lines of Persian-script (Nasta'liq) legend arranged horizontally across the flan, divided by a central horizontal line characteristic of Sikh Empire coinage struck in the name of the Guru Gobind Singh and the Khalsa. The upper register contains a portion of the Sikh invocation, while the lower register continues with the regal titles, all rendered in a bold, deeply struck hammered style typical of the Amritsar mint. The coin shows the irregular, slightly uneven flan shape inherent to the hand-hammered production technique. A crescent device is visible in the upper portion of the field. |
