| Beschrijving keerzijde | Irregular hammered copper flan bearing a single-word or abbreviated Arabic legend in bold Naskh script, reading 'Sultan', centered within the plain field. The inscription is rendered in the same cursive Deccani calligraphic style as the obverse, with sweeping strokes and characteristic regional letterforms. The surface is heavily patinated in green and brown tones, with the relief lettering remaining partially distinct. No additional devices, symbols, or mint marks are visible, in keeping with the austere epigraphic tradition of Bijapur Sultanate copper issues. The edge is plain and irregular, reflecting the hammered production technique. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ali Adil Shah II came to the Bijapur throne as a child of around four years old in 1656, with the sultanate already under sustained Mughal military pressure. His reign saw Shivaji's forces simultaneously raiding Bijapuri territory from the south and west — the sack of Surat in 1664 disrupted regional trade networks that Bijapuri commerce depended on. The sultanate was effectively fighting a two-front war of attrition for most of this coinage's production window.
KM#42 copper falus of this reign are frequently encountered with weak, off-center strikes, a known characteristic of Bijapur's copper issues rather than wear.
