| Reverse description | Irregular square flan displaying multiple lines of Arabic script in naskh style, incorporating the mint mark for Chanderi and the regnal year. The inscription is arranged in horizontal registers across the field, with the date and mint identifier occupying the lower portion of the die area. The lettering is bold and characteristic of Ghiyath Shah's coinage, with the surface showing the typical patination and roughness of a hand-struck copper issue. Some peripheral weakness is evident due to the irregular flan shape and hammered striking technique. |
