Obverse description Central field dominated by the elaborate tughra of Mir Usman Ali Khan, rendered in ornate Naskh calligraphy within a scalloped inner border. The numeral 92 — a traditional abjad notation representing the name 'Muhammad' — appears prominently within the tughra composition, accompanied by the full regal titles 'Nizam Al-Mulk Asaf Jah Bahadur' in Arabic script. The Hijri date AH 1330 is inscribed in Arabic numerals at the base of the tughra. The entire design is framed by a finely beaded outer rim, with a decorative floral spray visible in the upper right field.
