| Reverse description | Reverse displaying a bold, stylised Arabic-script legend arranged in a circular or flowing pattern across the irregular flan, consistent with hammered quarter-tanka issues of Arakanese governors. Pellets and decorative elements are scattered in the field around the central inscription. The lettering is roughly executed, reflecting the artisanal hammering technique employed at the Chittagong provincial mint. The design closely parallels contemporaneous Bengal Sultanate epigraphic coinage in both style and layout. |
