| Obverse description | Hammered copper flan bearing Arabic script legends in the field, with the regnal year AH 861 (partially visible as '٦١') recorded prominently. The inscriptions are executed in a bold, somewhat crude Naskh style typical of provincial Gujarat Sultanate coinage of the mid-fifteenth century. The surface displays considerable patination and wear consistent with circulation use, with the legend distributed across the available field without a formal border. |
