| Reverse description | Crude hammered flan displaying a multi-line Nastaliq legend distributed across two registers separated by a horizontal line, reading 'Shah Alam Badshah Ghazi Sikka Mubarak' — the standard Mughal regal formula invoking the emperor Shah Alam II as 'the Warrior King' with his 'auspicious coinage'. The legends are struck in raised relief on an uneven copper field, with scattered pellet ornaments visible in the margins. The coin exhibits the irregular flan shape and rough striking characteristic of hammered copper issues from the Mahe Indrapur mint under Bharatpur authority. |
