背面描述	Irregular hammered flan with an Arabic inscription in two or three lines filling the entire reverse field, giving the AH date 1188 in Eastern Arabic numerals. The deeply struck legend is characteristic of Maldivian hammered coinage, with bold, cursive strokes and no surrounding border or decorative devices. Patches of original copper surface are visible alongside areas of green patination. The overall execution reflects the hand-struck, artisanal nature of Maldivian larin coinage of the 18th century.

附加信息	The larin — a wire-money denomination bent into a hairpin shape — was the dominant currency of the Maldives for centuries, but by the mid-18th century the archipelago had shifted toward struck copper coinage under pressure from Indian Ocean trade networks demanding more standardized exchange. Muhammad Mu'iz ud-din's reign saw continued reliance on this small fractional piece for local transactions, particularly in the atolls where cowrie shells and larins had historically circulated side by side. KM#27 is among the more frequently encountered types from this sultanate, though survivors with legible inscriptions are considerably less common than raw counts suggest.
