| Obverse description | Hammered copper flan struck to the Delhi Standard, bearing Arabic inscriptions in the field arranged in multiple lines. The legend, typical of Gujarat Sultanate coinage under Ahmad Shah I, is rendered in a bold, somewhat archaic Naskh script characteristic of early fifteenth-century provincial Islamic coinage. The surfaces exhibit considerable patination and wear consistent with circulation use, with the inscriptions partially legible across the irregular flan. |
