| Obverse description | Crudely hammered copper flan bearing a two-line Arabic legend centrally positioned within the field, reading 'Ghiyath al-Dunya wa'l-Din' (Succour of the World and the Faith), one of the royal epithets of Sultan Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq. The inscription is rendered in a simple, unadorned Naskh-influenced script characteristic of early Tughluqid copper coinage. The flan is irregular in outline with a slightly raised rim, and the surface shows areas of green patination and copper corrosion consistent with prolonged circulation and burial. |
