| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Persian legend in Nastaliq script denoting the mint and regnal year of issue. The inscription reads: 'Struck at Murshidabad in the 10th year of his reign of tranquil prosperity,' with the mint name Murshidabad (ضرب مرشدآباد) and the regnal year (sanat) prominently displayed. The legend is arranged in diagonal bands across the flan, consistent with Mughal hammered coinage conventions. Decorative pellet ornaments appear in the field, and a horizontal line divides the legend into upper and lower registers. |
