| Obverse description | The obverse bears a multi-line Persian legend arranged in three horizontal registers, separated by raised parallel lines, within a dotted border. The central field displays the imperial titles of the Mughal Emperor Shah Alam Bahadur in bold Naskh script, reading 'Shah Alam Badshah Ghazi' (Victorious Emperor Shah Alam). The lower register contains the Hijri regnal year (AH), here shown as 1121, flanked by decorative dots. The overall layout is characteristic of late Mughal coinage struck at provincial mints under East India Company administration. |
