| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

The inscription, rendered in cursive Arabic script, affirms the ruler's full honorific title and provides the regnal dating. The bold, hand-struck lettering occupies the central field within the eight-notched scalloped border of the coin. |

The larin was the dominant trade currency across the Indian Ocean littoral for centuries — a wire-based form that Maldivian mints eventually adapted into the distinctive scalloped flat format seen here. Muhammad Imaduddin II ruled the Maldives from 1704 to 1720, a reign defined by efforts to consolidate authority after prolonged dynastic instability. The billon composition reflects declining silver access in the early eighteenth century, with the alloy varying noticeably across dies within the same issue — KM#14.3 represents one of several recorded punch varieties from this reign.
