| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays the mint and regnal year legend in Nastaliq Arabic script, arranged in two registers within an arched or boat-shaped cartouche framed by a raised linear border. The lower segment of the field contains the regnal year in Arabic numerals. A distinctive flower mint-mark associated with the Kishangarh mint appears in the design, with notably thick and wide petals serving as a diagnostic feature for this variety. Scattered pellet ornaments are distributed across the field, consistent with the stylistic vocabulary of Kishangarh's Mughal-style hammered coinage. |

Kishangarh was among the smaller Rajput states that continued invoking the Mughal emperor's name on coinage long after Delhi had ceased to function as any meaningful imperial center. By the 1780s, Shah Alam II had been blinded and effectively imprisoned by Ghulam Qadir, his authority a fiction maintained by tradition rather than political reality. Local mints like Kishangarh persisted with the Mughal regal formula partly from convention, partly because familiar coin types circulated more readily in regional bazaars than novel ones.
The C#10.2c designation distinguishes this by mint mark placement, a detail that separates Kishangarh output from the numerous contemporaneous issues struck by neighboring states under the same imperial fiction.
