| Obverse description | Central square cartouche with decorative knotted corners enclosing the emperor's name and titles in flowing Naskh Arabic script across multiple lines. The name 'Shah Jahan' appears prominently within the inner square, accompanied by the mint name Akbarnagar and the regnal year (RY 7). The surrounding field bears additional marginal legends in Arabic script arranged around the perimeter of the flan. The overall design is characteristic of Mughal hammered silver coinage, with calligraphy as the primary artistic element. The coin exhibits the slightly irregular, broad flan typical of hand-struck Mughal rupees. |
