Reverse description Central field displaying the royal titulature of the sultan in multiple lines of Arabic Naskh script, reading 'Muhammad bin Tughluq Shah'. A decorative motif consisting of a row of pellets is visible in the lower central area of the field, a feature characteristic of the South Indian type Paika issues. The inscription fills the flan with bold, deeply struck lettering typical of hammered Sultanate copper coinage. No mint name or date appears on this die, consistent with the undated South Indian type series.
