| Reverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing a multi-line Arabic legend arranged across the field and divided by a horizontal rule, consistent with Maldivian larin coinage of the period. The inscription names Sultan Ibrahim and accords him the honorific title 'Sultan of the Land and Sea,' followed by the regnal year 1096 AH (corresponding to 1685 CE). The bold cursive script fills the available flan space with characteristic late-Mughal influenced calligraphic forms. No subsidiary symbols or mint marks are present beyond the textual content. The surface exhibits the typical granular texture and slight weakness of strike associated with hand-hammered Islamic silver of this era. |
