| Reverse description | Irregular hammered silver flan displaying a two-line Persian Nastaliq legend arranged in the central field, reading 'Sana Julus Maimanat Manus / Zarb Kalpi', indicating the regnal year formula and the mint name Kalpi. The legend is separated by horizontal ruled lines in the traditional Mughal-derived format. The overall surface exhibits the characteristic unevenness of hand-struck hammered coinage, with portions of the peripheral legend partially off-flan due to the irregular planchet, consistent with Maratha-issued rupees struck in the name of Shah Alam II. |
