| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing a Persian legend in two registers divided by a horizontal line across the field. The upper register carries the principal royal titulature in bold Nastaliq script, reading 'Sikka Mubarak Shah Alam Bahadur' (the auspicious coin of Shah Alam Bahadur). Decorative floral or pellet ornaments are scattered in the field alongside the inscriptions. A beaded border frames the upper arc of the coin. The overall style is characteristic of late Mughal feudatory coinage, with irregular flan edges typical of hand-struck production. |
