| Reverse description | Irregular hammered flan bearing a bold Arabic legend across the central field, reading 'al-Sultan al-A'zam Shams al-Dunya wa al-Din' — 'The Supreme Sultan, Sun of the World and the Faith' — the honorific titles of Sultan Shams al-Din Iltutmish. The inscription is struck in a dense, cursive Naskh-influenced style characteristic of early Delhi Sultanate billon coinage, with the legend filling the field without a border. The flan shows the typical irregular shape and die displacement common to hammered jitals of this reign. |
