| Obverse description | Hammered copper flan bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in bold, informal Naskh script, disposed across the field without a defined border. The inscription reads 'Al-Mu'ayyad bi-Nasr Allah al-Malik al-Qawi al-Ghani' (The Supported by the Victory of God, the Powerful and Self-Sufficient King), a royal epithet associated with Kalim Allah Shah. The lettering is deeply struck but characteristically irregular in placement, consistent with Bahmani hammered coinage of the early sixteenth century. No mint name, date, or ornamental devices are present on this face. The surface shows natural cuprous patina with areas of green oxidation. |
