| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing a central cartouche framed by horizontal ruled lines, enclosing multiple lines of Persian/Nastaliq script. The field displays the imperial Mughal regal titles and name of Shah Alam II in flowing calligraphic strokes, with the regnal year (RY 2) incorporated within the legend. The overall layout follows the established Mughal rupee format, with the inscription occupying the full face of the coin in a characteristic Maratha-struck style, showing irregular flan edges typical of hammered coinage. |
