| Obverse description | Irregular rectangular hammered copper flan bearing multi-line Arabic script legend in the field, identifying this as a half falus issued under Mahmud Shah II of the Malwa Sultanate. The inscription is arranged in horizontal registers across the face, executed in a bold, somewhat crude hand typical of Malwa copper coinage of the early sixteenth century. A swastika device, a traditional auspicious symbol commonly employed on Malwa copper issues, appears within or adjacent to the legend field. The surfaces show characteristic die-struck relief with uneven flan edges resulting from the hammered production technique. |
