| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Persian legend in Nastaliq script, reading the imperial titulature of Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II: 'Defender of the religion of Muhammad, Shah Alam Emperor, Shadow of Divine Favour, who put his stamp on the seven climes.' The regnal year AH 1182 appears within the legend. The inscription is arranged in diagonal bands across the flan, with decorative pellet ornaments flanking the text, characteristic of late Mughal hammered rupee coinage. A horizontal dividing line separates the upper legend field from the lower portion of the coin. |
