| Reverse description | Square hammered flan with a central swastika cross motif occupying the middle field, a traditional Hindu auspicious symbol retained on the coinage of the Malwa Sultanate as a concession to local iconographic conventions. Above the swastika, a horizontal line separates a single-line Arabic legend reading 'Al-sultan'; below, the inscription continues with 'bin al-sultan', affirming the dynastic title of the issuer. The overall design is characteristic of the syncretistic numismatic style of medieval central Indian sultanate coinage. |
