| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold two-register Persian Nastaliq legend divided by a horizontal ruled line. The upper register bears the word 'Ahd' (meaning 'reign' or regnal year one), denoting Regnal Year 1 of Shah Jahan II's brief reign. The lower register carries the mint epithet 'Dar al-Sultanat', the honorific title of the Lahore mint, rendered in large calligraphic strokes that extend to the coin's irregular periphery. Scattered pellet ornaments are visible in the field, a characteristic decorative feature of hammered Mughal coinage from this period. |
