| Reverse description | Central field displays a two-line Arabic legend reading 'al-Sultan / al-Bahmani', identifying the dynastic title of the issuing authority. The inscription is struck in raised relief in a bold, somewhat crude hand typical of late Bahmani copper coinage. The flan is irregularly shaped with an uneven surface, reflecting the hand-hammered production technique. No border, symbols, or additional ornamental elements are present in the field. |
