| Obverse description | The obverse bears a multi-line Persian/Urdu legend in Nastaliq script arranged across the field, citing the regnal name and titles of the Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II. The inscriptions are disposed in horizontal registers typical of hammered nazrana issues of the period, with no border or decorative frame. The legend records the emperor's name as suzerain authority, affirming the feudatory relationship of the Orchha state. The script is boldly struck in the characteristically irregular style of princely-state hammer-struck coinage. |
