| Obverse description | Irregular hammered copper flan bearing bold Arabic calligraphic inscription in the central field, the legend boldly struck and occupying the majority of the die area. The script is rendered in a characteristic Gujaran Sultanate style, with elongated vertical strokes and rounded terminals enclosed within a plain circular border. The surfaces exhibit natural patination consistent with circulated medieval Islamic coinage. |
