| Obverse description | Central field bearing two lines of Persian script divided by a horizontal rule, invoking the name and regnal title of Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II. The inscription is enclosed within a wreath of stylised foliate sprays, characteristic of late Holkar coinage. The hammered flan produces a slightly irregular, convex surface typical of hand-struck princely state issues. The overall design follows the traditional Mughal-derived format adopted by the Holkar rulers of Indore. |
