| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays the Islamic declaration of faith (Kalima Tayyiba) in bold Naskh calligraphy, arranged in three horizontal lines filling the circular flan: 'La ilaha illallah / Muhammad rasulullah / Sallallahu alayhi wasallam.' The inscription proclaims the oneness of God and the prophethood of Muhammad, a standard formula employed on Mughal silver coinage to affirm the Islamic identity of the empire. The deeply struck legends are framed by a plain inner border, with a beaded outer rim visible around the circumference. The flat, unadorned field between lines reflects the characteristic hammered technique of the Lahore mint workshop. The calligraphic execution is bold and legible, consistent with high-quality Mughal rupee production of the early Shah Jahan period. |

Shah Jahan's accession in 1628 followed a prolonged rebellion against his own father Jahangir, and his early coinage reflects an immediate need to assert legitimacy across the empire's mints. Lahore — one of the most productive Mughal mints and the administrative capital of the Punjab — would have struck enormous volumes in these first regnal years as new dies were cut and the transition formalised in silver.
KM#224.14 distinguishes the Lahore attribution within a type struck simultaneously at over a dozen mints, differentiated primarily by mint name in the marginal inscription.
