| Reverse description | The reverse displays a further portion of the Mughal-style Persian legend, with a prominent crescent symbol visible in the upper field, a characteristic device employed on Kishangarh copper coinage of this period. The inscription, boldly struck in relief against the flat field, references the mint and regnal context in traditional Mughal fashion. The flan is notably thick and irregular at the rim, consistent with the hammered production technique. Die alignment is approximate, and the surfaces show the characteristic granular texture of provincial copper coinage. |
