| Obverse description | Struck in the hammered tradition, the obverse field is entirely occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend in naskh script reading 'Ahmad Shah bin Ahmad Shah Bahamanshah', identifying the ruler by name and patronymic lineage. The inscription is boldly raised against a flat, unadorned field with no border or decorative framing. The irregular flan and uneven strike, characteristic of Bahmani copper coinage, result in partial legend visibility at the periphery. The lettering is arranged in two or three horizontal registers filling the available die area. |
