| Obverse description | Irregular copper flan with bold Arabic legend struck in relief across the central field. The inscription, executed in a bold Naskh-derived script typical of Golkonda coinage, occupies the majority of the obverse surface and references the ruling authority. The strike is characteristic of hand-hammered provincial coinage, exhibiting uneven depth and flan spread. The field shows natural surface porosity consistent with copper alloy of the period. |
