| Reverse description | The reverse presents a further Arabic inscription in Naskh script arranged in multiple horizontal lines across the irregular copper flan. The legend occupies the majority of the reverse field and likely contains additional elements of the royal title or mint and regnal formula. The die work is bold but somewhat carelessly executed, with letters showing occasional crowding at the flan margins. A heavy blue-green patina covers the surface, consistent with the obverse, and the strike is slightly off-center as is typical for hammered Bahmani copper issues. |
