| Obverse description | Divided field with a bull depicted in the lower register and a horseman in the upper register, rendered in the characteristic flat, stylized manner of early Delhi Sultanate coinage. A horizontal line separates the two figural elements across the coin's face. Partial Arabic legend surrounds and intersects the design, with only fragments legible due to the irregular flan and die shift. The epigraphy, where visible, references the sultan's titles. The overall execution is typical of the debased billon jitals struck under the early Slave Dynasty and Shamsid rulers. |
