| Obverse description | Densely packed Arabic legend fills the entire field within a plain circular border, struck in bold relief on an irregularly flan typical of hammered Delhi Sultanate billon coinage. The inscription, rendered in a compact Naskh-derived hand, bears the sultan's titles and religious formulae arranged in multiple lines across the coin face. The relief is high and the lettering bold, with individual characters tightly interlocked to occupy the available flan. Characteristic of Tughluqid jitals, there is no central figurative motif, the text itself constituting the sole decorative and informational element. Strike quality is typical of the period, with some weakness at the irregular flan edges. |
