Beschrijving voorzijde Central field occupied by a bold Arabic legend in two lines reading 'Al-Sultan al-Azim' (The Great Sultan), struck in raised relief with characteristic Sultanate calligraphic style. The lettering is large relative to the flan and fills the field, with no additional decorative elements. The coin exhibits the irregular, slightly concave flan typical of hammered Delhi Sultanate copper coinage. A plain raised rim partially borders the design. Green patination consistent with buried copper is visible across the surface.

Aanvullende informatie

Ghiyath-ud-din Balban ruled the Delhi Sultanate under a policy of deliberate terror — he systematically crushed the Forty, the group of Turkish nobles who had dominated the sultanate since Iltutmish, and reorganized the court along strict Persian ceremonial lines. His copper issues reflect this administrative overhaul; the paika denomination functioned at the lowest stratum of a currency hierarchy Balban worked to stabilize after decades of factional disorder had degraded both political authority and monetary confidence.
