| Obverse description | Irregular hammered copper flan bearing a three-line Arabic legend in raised relief, filling the field without an enclosing border. The inscription reads 'Al-Sultan al-A'zam / Qutb al-Dunya wa al-Din / Abu al-Muzaffar Ahmad Shah', proclaiming the full royal titulature of Sultan Qutb al-Din Ahmad Shah II of Gujarat. The script is in a bold, somewhat angular Naskh style characteristic of mid-15th century Gujarati sultanate coinage. The flan edges are irregular and slightly uneven, consistent with hand-struck production. |
