| Reverse description | Reverse field bearing a crude Arabic inscription distributed across the flan in a heavily worn and somewhat indistinct arrangement, typical of the small-denomination hammered copper coinage of the later Bahmani Sultanate. The legend likely contains the mint name or regnal formula, though corrosion and surface encrustation obscure precise readings. The flan is of irregular shape with uneven surfaces, characteristic of hand-struck provincial issues. The overall execution is utilitarian, with letters compressed to fit the small module. |
