| Reverse description | The reverse presents the Kalima (Islamic declaration of faith) inscribed in Persian nastaliq script, arranged within a decorative square cartouche with knotted projections at each corner, mirroring the obverse design. The AH (Hijri) date is incorporated into the field surrounding or beneath the cartouche. The calligraphy is rendered in the refined Mughal court style, with the inscriptions filling the available field space. The hammered flan shows characteristic irregular edges and surface texture consistent with Mughal silver rupees of the period. |
