| Obverse description | Crudely struck Arabic inscription in the field, rendered in a bold, archaic hand characteristic of Gujarati sultanate copper coinage. The legend, occupying the central portion of the flan, is executed in a loose Naskh-derived script with heavily stylized letterforms. The irregular flan exhibits the characteristic roughness of hammered copper struck from hand-cut dies. The field shows no decorative border, consistent with the utilitarian nature of this fractional denomination. |
