| Beschrijving keerzijde | Hammered reverse field bearing a multi-line inscription in Burmese script, identifying the mint territory associated with Sandwip Island. The characters are arranged informally across the flan in a style consistent with Arakanese provincial coinage of the period. A small decorative pellet or star element is visible near the upper centre of the field. The irregular flan and flat relief are characteristic of hammered provincial issues of this region. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sandwip Island, positioned at the mouth of the Meghna River in the Bay of Bengal, changed hands repeatedly through the early seventeenth century — Portuguese pirates, the Mughals, the Arakanese, and local Bengali chieftains all held it at various points. Sultan Dilawar's governorship fell within Arakan's period of greatest maritime reach, when the kingdom controlled a significant stretch of the Bengal coast and ran a slave trade that devastated villages as far inland as Dhaka.
Provincial fractional silver struck under named governors is rare in this series. Most surviving Arakanese coinage of the period was issued centrally from Mrauk-U.
