| Obverse description | Central field bearing a bold Arabic-script legend in multiple lines, characteristic of Mughal hammered coinage, with the ruler's name and titles rendered in a fluid Naskh calligraphic style. The inscription is set within an irregular flan with a slightly scalloped periphery, typical of hand-struck silver issues of the period. The legend occupies virtually the entire obverse field, with no pictorial device or border ornament, consistent with Islamic numismatic convention. Strike is moderately uneven, leaving portions of the field with a granular texture. |
