| Reverse description | The reverse field bears a two-line Arabic inscription in Naskh script reading 'Dar al-Mulk fi Dihli' (دار الملك في دلهي), meaning 'Seat of the Kingdom in Delhi', identifying the mint city and asserting the political authority of the Sultanate. The bold, deeply incised lettering fills the available flan space, leaving virtually no open field. The strike is characteristic of late Tughluq-period hammered copper coinage, with the irregular planchet edges and slightly uneven relief typical of hand-struck falus of this era. |
