The upper register contains the Kalima or a portion of the Islamic profession of faith, while the lower register bears the epithet 'Nasir-ul-Allah Muhammad' or a related royal title referencing divine support. A circular marginal legend in Arabic script encircles the cartouche, and a Nagari inscription appears in the lower marginal band, recording the mint name Gwalior. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sher Shah Suri's administrative reforms extended well beyond taxation and road-building — his standardization of the silver rupee (tanka) established the weight and fineness benchmarks that Mughal emperors would maintain for generations. The Gwalior mint was among the more strategically significant in his network, operating from a fortress city he had wrested from Mughal control after Humayun's flight to Persia in 1540. Sher Shah held the city and its mint for the remainder of his reign, killed in 1545 at the siege of Kalinjar when a ricocheting rocket ignited an ammunition store.
