| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in bold naskh script, disposed across the field in horizontal registers. The central inscription records the imperial titles of Shah Jahan — 'Shahab-ud-din Muhammad Sahib-Qiran-i-Sani' — identifying him as the Second Lord of the Auspicious Conjunction. The mint name 'Zarb Patna' and the regnal year appear within the legend, occupying the lower register. The strike is characteristic of Mughal hammered coinage, with slightly irregular flan edges and moderate die wear; a small hole is visible near the centre of the coin, consistent with use as personal adornment. |
