| Obverse description | The obverse field is entirely occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend in bold, deeply struck Naskh script, reading 'Al-Sultan al-A'zam Ghiyath al-Dunya wa'l-Din' (The Supreme Sultan, Protector of the World and the Faith), the honorific titles of Sultan Ghiyas-ud-din Balban. The lettering is arranged in two to three horizontal registers filling the flan, with characteristic irregular hammered surfaces and slightly ragged edges typical of Delhi Sultanate billon coinage. No figural or decorative elements are present, consistent with Islamic numismatic tradition. |
