| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a bold Naskh/Thuluth Arabic inscription arranged in multiple registers, bearing the Kalima (Islamic declaration of faith): 'La ilaha illallah, Muhammadur Rasulullah'. The legends are deeply struck in a characteristic Timurid-Mughal calligraphic style. The coin exhibits the irregular flan typical of hammered silver coinage of the early Mughal period. Traces of a marginal legend encircle the central inscription field. The overall design follows the Timurid Shahrukhi tradition inherited by Babur. |
