| Reverse description | Central field displaying Persian inscription naming the regnal title and authority of Shah Alam II, divided by a horizontal line within a rectangular cartouche, a common feature of Maratha-issued Mughal-style rupees. The mint name 'Murtazabad' (the ceremonial name for the Miraj mint) appears partially in the lower margin. Devanagari legend 'पंतप्रधान' (Prime Minister), denoting Maratha Peshwa authority, is present in the field. The overall style follows the broad flan, bold lettering conventions of Deccan hammered coinage of this period. |
