| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in Naskh script, arranged in horizontal registers across the flan, typical of Jaunpur Sultanate hammered billon coinage. The text, partially visible due to the irregular flan and typical die-shift of hand-struck pieces, carries religious or regnal formulae consistent with contemporary Sultanate issues. A linear or rope border encircles the legend field. The surface displays the characteristic granular texture and porosity of a billon alloy strike. |
