Obverse description Broad, irregularly shaped hammered flan bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in bold Naskh/Nastaliq script arranged within the central field, with additional marginal legend encircling the perimeter. The calligraphic text, deeply struck with characteristic Mughal die engraving, includes the royal titles and Kalima references associated with Humayun's coinage. The script fills the field in a dense, overlapping arrangement typical of early Mughal silver issues, with no figural imagery present.
