| Obverse description | Central field bears a two-line Arabic legend identifying the sultan by name and the mint of issue, struck in a bold naskh script characteristic of Maldivian hammered coinage of the early eighteenth century. The upper line reads the sultan's name, Muhammad, while the lower line records the mint name, Malé, together denoting the issuing authority and place of production. The legends are contained within the round flan without a formal border, the surface showing the irregular fabric typical of hand-struck billon issues. |
