| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing multiple lines of Nastaliq Arabic script arranged in two registers separated by a horizontal line across the coin field. The legends, rendered in bold calligraphic strokes characteristic of Mughal-derived coinage, fill the entire obverse surface. The inscription references the Mughal imperial formula including the name of the nominal sovereign, with the text curving to follow the round flan. The field displays the typical granular surface of a hand-struck issue, with raised legends against a flat ground. |
