| Obverse lettering | علا الدنيا والدين همايون شاه |
| Reverse description | Epigraphic reverse bearing a two-line Arabic legend in the field, reading 'Sultan bin Ahmad Shah / al-Wali al-Bahmani', identifying the ruler as son of Ahmad Shah al-Wali and asserting the Bahmani dynastic title. The script is executed in the same bold, informal Naskh-derived hand as the obverse, characteristic of mid-fifteenth century Bahmani copper issues. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with green cuprite patination visible across the surface. No mint name or date appears, consistent with the undated typology of this series. The legends fill the field without a border. |
