Obverse description Hammered silver flan bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged across the field, detailing the name and title of Sultan Dilawar as governor. The legend is rendered in a cursive Arabic script typical of Indo-Bengali provincial coinage of the early seventeenth century, with individual letter forms occupying distinct registers. The irregular flan edges are characteristic of hand-struck provincial issues. No decorative border or inner circle is present.
