| Reverse description | The reverse carries a multi-line Persian legend in Nastaliq script identifying the mint and regnal year, reading 'Zarb Azimabad Sanat [RY] Julus Maimanat Manus,' meaning 'Struck at Azimabad in the [nth] year of his prosperous reign.' The numeral '١٠' (10), denoting the 10th regnal year of Shah Alam II, appears prominently in the lower central field alongside a cluster of pellets serving as a mint or die mark. The bold, deeply struck calligraphy and the irregular flan are characteristic of the hammered coinage produced at the Azimabad (Patna) mint during the Bengal Presidency period. |
