| Obverse description | Hammered copper flan of irregular roundness, displaying a two-line Arabic inscription in the central field, executed in a bold, somewhat crude calligraphic style typical of late Bahmani Sultanate coinage. The legend reads 'Al-Sultan / Mahmud Shah' arranged across two registers, with the script showing characteristic angular strokes. The field is uneven and heavily worn, with patinated surfaces exhibiting a blue-green cuprite encrustation. A horizontal line divides the lower register, beneath which a decorative border element is faintly visible. The overall die execution reflects the provincial hammered tradition of Deccan Islamic coinage of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. |
