| Reverse description | The reverse field carries the mint name and Hijri regnal date inscribed in multiple lines of Arabic script, disposed across the flan without a defined border. The legend is struck in low relief on the irregular copper flan, with the numerals of the date rendered prominently in the upper portion of the field. The execution is typical of hammered Kashmir Sultanate copper issues, with the inscription filling the available field in an informal arrangement. |

| Additional information |
Hasan Shah's reign over the Kashmir Sultanate was among its more stable interludes, but the monetary system he inherited was chaotic — debased copper coinage had circulated alongside silver so inconsistently that local exchange rates varied by valley. The kaserah denomination itself was a Kashmir-specific unit, rooted in the region's persistent preference for copper in everyday transactions even when silver was nominally available.
Hasan Shah died in 1484, succeeded by a period of dynastic instability that disrupted minting almost immediately.
