In an E-mail reply to a question I posed o Islamic Coin Group I was advised
The language on Mughal coins, is Persian rather than Arabic. Persian uses a variant of the standard Arabic alphabet with some additional letters to represent sounds which occur in Persian but not in Arabic. Beyond the differences between Arabic and Persian, direct letter for letter transliteration into the English alphabet is extremely difficult for a host of reasons. The "transliterations" we see are catalogs are approximations taking into account missing letters, diacritical marks, and sometimes the spoken equivalent of what is written.

The "Transcript" and "Translation" of the Persian Calligraphy on the 1701 Surat Rupee treasure coin from the Great Basses Reef, Lanka is as follows.

Descended from Jenghiz Khan, Akbar the Great reigned from 1556 CE, when he was thirteen. During this time he conquered large part of India, and by his wise toleration he built a lasting Empire despite all the diversities of race and religion. Following him as Moghul Emperors was his son Jehangir in 1605 CE and grandson Shar Jahan in 1628 CE who built the Taj Mahal mausoleum for his wife Mumtaz Mahal. In 1659 CE (1069 A.H.) his son Shar Aurangzib 'Alamgir (``throne-adorner, universe-grasper'') ascended to the throne. In this reign the Moghul Empire reached its greatest territorial extent. At the age of almost ninety, when Aurangzib died in 1707 CE (1118 A.H.) religious intoleration had undermined Akbar's policy for unity and the Empire disintegrated in a short time.

Aurangzib used 47 different mints and introduced a new style of coin, which lasted through end of Moghul Period. The horizontals on the obverse of the coin are formed, the upper one by Shar (as is usual) and the lower by sikkah As long as all the words got on the coin they were not too concerned about the order of the words in the couplet.

During the 48 year rule of Aurangzib the Surat Mint alone issued over 85 varieties rupee coins listed in Brown's Catalog of coins in the Lucknow Museum. Since Anno Hegirea (A.H.) doesn't change at the same time as the regnal year, most years have two varieties. The order of rows and the location of the A.H. date change a few times over this period. The Ahad (first) regional year issue (1070 A.H.) (#2874) has the Surat Mint epitat is listed in krause as KM#300.85, the rest without epitat as KM#300.86. On the reverse Surat was written at the bottom line in #2879, and the last two lines are switched with zuriba (struck-at) at the bottom line in #2884 of 1073 A.H. The reginal year is written over the location of which moves from the topline to the third in reginal year 22 and the last two lines switched back in #2910 of 1089 A.H. On obverse the year in A.H is in . From 1096 A.H. of reginal year 28 (#2933) a series of eleven Mint ornaments are used on reverse. Two types of such Mint marks appear on 1113/46. Brown's #193 (cross around central circle with 4 filled dots in the quadrents) is used on (#2985) the A.H. 1113 of reginal year 46 of the greatbases wreck coin.
