| Reverse description | Hammered reverse displaying the mint and date formula in Nasta'liq script arranged in horizontal registers across the field. The uppermost line carries the mint name 'Zarb Derajat' (struck at Derajat), followed by the Hijri regnal year below, and the regnal year notation in the lower register. Decorative pellets are scattered throughout the field as ornamental fillers, consistent with Durrani provincial mint practice. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with characteristic uneven striking pressure visible at the margins. The overall composition reflects the utilitarian aesthetic of hammered rupee coinage produced at the Derajat mint during Zaman Shah's reign. |
