| Beschrijving keerzijde | Reverse displays a highly stylized and abbreviated Arabic mint name legend, typical of Mughal-period gold fanam coinage struck at provincial South Indian mints. The inscription is compressed into the small flan with crude, abstract calligraphic strokes, consistent with the hammered technique used for these diminutive gold pieces. The field is otherwise plain, with no additional decorative elements. |

Alamgir II ruled as a puppet under the control of the wazir Imad ul-Mulk, who would eventually orchestrate his murder in 1759 — the closing bracket on this coin's production window. By the mid-eighteenth century, Mughal gold fanams had contracted to these tiny fractional pieces precisely because effective imperial authority had fragmented to the point where large-denomination gold coinage had little practical reach beyond local transactions.
