| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a multi-line Arabic legend in bold Naskh script, filling the irregular round flan without a formal border or decorative framing. The inscription reads 'Kalim Allah al-Sultan ibn Mahmud Shah al-Bahmani' (Kalim Allah the Sultan, son of Mahmud Shah al-Bahmani), identifying the issuing ruler and his dynastic lineage within the Bahmani Sultanate. The lettering, though vigorously struck, exhibits the asymmetric placement and variable depth characteristic of hand-hammered Deccani coinage. No date, mint mark, or auxiliary symbols accompany the legend. The flan retains a reddish-brown copper surface with patches of green patina. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kalīm Allāh Shāh was the last sultan of the Bahmani dynasty, ruling over a kingdom that had already effectively ceased to exist. By the time of his accession, the Bahmani Sultanate had fragmented into five successor states — Bidar, Bijapur, Ahmadnagar, Berar, and Golconda — each governed by former provincial governors who had long since stopped deferring to Bidar. Kalīm Allāh retained the title but commanded almost nothing, and was eventually expelled from Bidar entirely around 1527, dying in obscurity in the Deccan.
Coinage struck in his name is therefore a political fiction as much as a monetary instrument — issued to project legitimacy that no longer existed on the ground.
