| Reverse description | The reverse presents a two-line Arabic inscription occupying the central field, reading 'Ibn Muhammad / Shah', identifying the ruler's patronymic and dynastic title in a style consistent with Bahmani administrative coinage. The legends are struck in a bold, irregular hand, with letterforms showing the characteristic cursive-angular fusion of Deccan Islamic epigraphy. The flan is of irregular thickness and shows pronounced surface porosity and blue-green patination throughout. The field is flat with no additional decorative devices or mint marks discernible. The die axis and overall execution are consistent with the hammered coinage tradition of the late Bahmani Sultanate. |
