| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing a bold Persian legend in Nasta'liq script arranged across the field in two registers separated by a horizontal line. The upper register carries the royal epithet and title of the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II, rendered in characteristic cursive calligraphy. The lower register displays a supplementary portion of the imperial titulature. Dotted ornamental devices are visible at the margins, consistent with Gwalior mint practice of the early nineteenth century. The striking is irregular at the edges, typical of hand-hammered coinage of the period. |
