Reverse description The reverse of this hammered copper falus displays a multi-line Arabic-script legend in nastaliq calligraphy, occupying the majority of the irregular field. The inscription references the mint name Solapur (Sholapur) and likely includes a regnal or hijri date indicator. The strokes are bold and flowing, characteristic of Mughal provincial copper issues, with the legend partially obscured by die wear and the inherent limitations of the hammered technique. The flan is notably irregular in outline, and the surface shows patination consistent with extended circulation.
