Your attribution looks correct to me (undated 1793 issue struck at Calcutta mint).
A "couplet" is a short two-line poetic composition (i.e., legend) (in Persian) found on the coin. On this coin, the couplet is

Sikka Zad Bar Haft Kishwur Sayaye Fazl Shah Alam Badshah Elah Hami Din Mohammad
Zarb Murshidabad Sanat 19 Julus Maimanet Manus

Translation:
Defender of the Muhammadan faith, Reflection of Divine Excellence, the Emperor Shah Alam has stuck this coin to be current throughout the seven climes
Stuck at Murshidabad in the 19th year of his prosperous reign.

Here are some more examples of couplets used on Mughal coins:

Thanks Overlord for your help,
now I know the German translation for couplet: "gereimte Vers-Zeilen"
