| Obverse description | Epigraphic type with no figural imagery. The field is occupied entirely by a bold two-line Arabic legend in a characteristic Bahmani calligraphic style, reading 'Ala al-Dunya wa'l-Din / Humayun Shah'. The inscription is executed in a vigorous, slightly irregular hand typical of hammered Bahmani copper coinage, with individual letterforms well-spaced across the broad flan. The coin surface shows an even patina with areas of dark oxidation, and the flan edges are notably irregular. No border or decorative frame is present. |
