A sword is depicted at the base of the regnal year (sana) inscription, with the Hijri date recorded to the left. Additional marginal legends referencing the mint name Katak and the regnal year appear around the cartouche, rendered in the characteristic bold calligraphic style of late Shah Jahan coinage. |
