| Obverse description | Irregular hammered billon flan bearing a bold central Nagari legend reading 'Balban' in the field, executed in a characteristic bull's-eye arrangement. Surrounding the central device, a Nagari marginal legend reads 'Sri Sultan Ghayasadin', framed within a beaded or rope border that follows the irregular contour of the flan. The script is deeply struck in the Indo-Muslim style, with bold relief typical of Delhi Sultanate jitals. The overall design reflects the bilingual character of Balban's early coinage, blending Nagari and Arabic epigraphic traditions on a single small flan. |
