| Reverse description | The reverse displays a Persian calligraphic legend in Nasta'liq script divided by a horizontal line across the field, recording the mint name and regnal year. The upper portion of the field bears the mint epithet and the phrase 'julus maimanat manus' (reign of tranquil prosperity), while the lower segment contains the regnal year numeral '19' in Arabic script. Small lozenge and pellet ornaments punctuate the field, consistent with the decorative conventions of Bengal Presidency rupees struck at Murshidabad under the frozen date and regnal year formula. |
