| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Persian legend in Nasta'liq script filling the field, reading 'Khallad Allah Mulkahu / Zarb Dar al-Khilafa Shah Jahan Abad / 1152,' identifying the Shahjahanabad mint as the place of striking and recording the AH year 1152 (1739-1740 CE). The mint epithet 'Dar al-Khilafa' reflects the prestige title accorded to Delhi. A dotted border frames the inscription, consistent with Afsharid rupee coinage struck at this captured Mughal mint. |
