Reverse description Bold Arabic inscription displayed prominently in the central field, cast in higher relief than the obverse and exhibiting greater legibility. The letterforms appear in two registers, with the upper portion showing two or three vertical strokes surmounted by looped characters, and the lower register presenting a rounded, open form typical of Jawi-influenced Arabic script used on Sumatran sultanate coinage. The flan is irregular and the surface retains characteristic pitting and oxidation consistent with cast tin. No border, rim inscription, or decorative device is present.
