| Obverse description | Irregular hammered billon flan bearing a multi-line Arabic religious inscription in the field, rendered in a bold Naskh-style calligraphy. The legend reads 'fi sabil Allah' (in the path of God), distributed across the coin's face without a formal border. The lettering is deeply struck with characteristic irregular spacing typical of Delhi Sultanate hammered coinage. The surface shows natural granular texture consistent with billon alloy composition. No figural imagery is present, in accordance with Islamic numismatic tradition. |
