| Aversbeschreibung | The obverse presents a densely composed field of bold Arabic calligraphy in the Naskh script, arranged in concentric registers within a circular cartouche framed by a beaded inner border. A small square panel occupies the upper central portion of the field, enclosing a floral or star-shaped ornament. The royal legend reading 'Sher Shah al-Sultan, may God perpetuate his reign' fills the central and lower fields in sweeping strokes. The periphery carries additional inscriptions in Nagari script, typical of Suri coinage intended to serve the diverse population of the Subcontinent. The overall die work reflects the distinctive hammered style of Sur Empire silver coinage, with characteristic irregular flan edges. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Sher Shah Suri introduced the silver rupee as part of a sweeping monetary reform that standardized weight, fineness, and design across his empire — a system so well-conceived that the Mughals who displaced him in 1555 adopted it wholesale and kept it running for generations. The Chunar mint sits on the Ganges in present-day Uttar Pradesh, a strategically fortified position that Sher Shah had himself seized from Humayun in 1532, years before he drove the Mughal emperor out of Hindustan entirely.
The two-year window for this issue reflects Sher Shah's death at Kalinjar in May 1545, killed when a stored powder magazine ignited during a siege.
