This is a single photograph of a museum display case, showing three gold coins arranged on a cloth. The plaque reads Shihab-ud-Din Muhammad Shah Jahan—the name of the emperor who built the Taj Mahal. The coin faces bear no images, being filled entirely with inscriptions in the Persian script. As this image shows multiple specimens, it is presented as the full display without being cropped.
