| Reverse description | Reverse of this irregularly shaped hammered copper flan, displaying traces of an applied countermark reading 'Shah' in Arabic script, though on certain specimens this side may appear plain or only partially struck. The surface is characteristically rough and uneven, reflecting the primitive hammered production technique employed at Cambay. The flan edges are irregular and ragged, as is typical of coinage from this princely state. Some specimens show only faint impressions or no discernible device on this face. |
