| Obverse description | Arabic legend in two lines across the field, reading 'Al-Sultan Muhammad' (السلطان محمد), denoting the sultan's name. The inscription is executed in a cursive Arabic script typical of Maldivian hammered coinage of the early 18th century. The legend fills the scalloped flan with characteristic bold strokes, framed by the eight pointed notches of the coin's distinctive outline. |
