| Reverse description | Stylized humped bull (Zebu) facing left, rendered in the schematic, abstracted manner typical of early Delhi Sultanate billon jitals, continuing the iconographic tradition inherited from pre-Sultanate Rajput coinage. The bull's characteristic hump and tail are suggested through bold, curvilinear strokes within the irregular flan. The Devanagari legend referencing Sultan Shams al-Din Iltutmish is distributed in the field around the animal. The design reflects the transitional numismatic vocabulary of the early Sultanate, blending indigenous Hindu iconography with Islamic royal titulature. |
