| Obverse description | Obverse bears a Persian couplet in Arabic script referencing the Mughal emperor Muhammad Akbar II with the honorific 'Saheb-e-Qurani Sani', struck in the Mughal style. A six-petalled flower ornament appears within the legend field, characteristic of Kishangarh coinage of this period. The inscriptions are arranged in multiple lines across the flan in a typical hammered Mughal format, with somewhat crude execution reflecting provincial mint workmanship. The overall design follows the Mughal imperial tradition of regal poetry as the primary obverse device. |
