Bombay Mint – Silver Fifth Rupees (Fanams). Obverse C

 

Obverse C: The top line in this case clearly spells out ‘ālamgīr, so here there is no ambiguity about whose designs have been used as a prototype. The execution of legends in this case seems to be quite accurate, and the extant specimens show it to be of superior workmanship. The figure ‘5’ survives in the centre.
