| Reverse description | Hammered reverse field bearing a two-line Arabic legend in bold Naskh script, reading 'Dar al-Mulk / Dehli', identifying the mint city of Delhi as the seat of sovereign power. The inscription is centrally placed within the plain, unadorned field, raised in high relief. The flan is irregular and slightly broader than the die, leaving portions of the edge plain and unworked, consistent with standard hammered coinage practice of the Tughluq period. Traces of copper alloy patina and surface encrustations are visible across the field. |
