| Reverse description | Reverse of this hammered copper falus bearing a two-line Arabic legend in naskh script across the field, divided by a horizontal line. The inscription reads 'bin Latif Shah / al-Sultan', identifying the sultan's paternal lineage and reinforcing his dynastic legitimacy. The strike is characteristic of the informal hammered technique employed by the Gujarati mint, with the legend showing varying depth and surface irregularities across the flan. The field is plain with no additional symbols or mint marks visible. |
