| Obverse description | Central square with decorative knotted corners enclosing the imperial titles of Emperor Shah Jahan in Arabic script, reading 'Shah Jahan Badshah Ghazi' within the inner frame. The four quadrants surrounding the central square bear additional regnal epithets and the full imperial name 'Shahab-ud-din Muhammad Sahib-e-Qiran Sani.' The mint name 'Zarb Surat' appears to the left of the central square, identifying the Surat mint. The overall composition is characteristic of Mughal hammered silver coinage, with calligraphic legends filling the field in a formal, rectilinear layout. |
