| Reverse description | Square hammered flan with an Arabic inscription arranged in two registers, separated by a horizontal dividing line, enclosed within a linear border. The legend bears the kalima or additional royal titles associated with Sultan Ghiyath Shah of Malwa, rendered in bold Naskh script with characteristically broad strokes. The strike is moderately well-centred for a hammered issue, with some weakness at the margins consistent with the irregular flan shape. The overall style conforms to the standard copper coinage type of the Malwa Sultanate during the reign of Ghiyath Shah (1469–1500). |
