Cast during the Mughal era's administrative expansion, this rare token represents an important artifact of Bengal's mercantile and governmental systems. Weighing 6.59 grams with a diameter of 18.44mm, the piece features Persian inscriptions on both obverse and reverse, though partially illegible due to age and circulation wear—a characteristic that adds authenticity and historical patina. The token's exceptional condition grade of Extremely Fine reflects its impressive preservation despite centuries of existence.
