| Obverse description | Hammered silver rupee struck in the name of the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II, displaying bold Arabic-script legends across the field arranged in the characteristic multi-line format of late Mughal feudatory coinage. The inscription identifies the regnal authority and is surrounded by decorative pellet ornaments distributed throughout the field. The die is square-framed within a circular flan, with the lettering boldly raised against a darkened recessed background. The Hijri date 1203 appears prominently within the legend. The overall execution is characteristic of provincial hammered coinage with irregular flan edges typical of the Kuchaman mint. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents large, boldly executed Arabic-script legends filling the entire field, recording the regnal year (RY) 31 of Shah Alam II, here rendered as the numeral ٣١ in prominent raised relief. Decorative pellets are scattered throughout the field as ornamental devices, consistent with the style of Jodhpur feudatory issues. The inscription is arranged in the traditional multi-line Mughal format, with strokes of considerable weight giving the legends a robust, almost calligraphic character. The flan is irregular and slightly smaller than the die, as is typical of hammered provincial rupees of this period. The frozen regal year and date confirm this as a ceremonial continuation type struck after the nominal reign year. |
