| Beschrijving keerzijde | Reverse field similarly dominated by Arabic script in multiple lines, with larger, more boldly struck characters occupying the upper register and a secondary inscription below, consistent with standard Sur Empire paisa typology. The legends likely record the ruler's name and titles, possibly with a mint name or regnal formula. The flan is irregular in shape with areas of green copper patina and surface porosity typical of hammered base-metal coinage of this period. Die alignment is variable, and the strike is moderately well-centred given the nature of hammered production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sher Shah Sur's administrative reforms during this period extended well beyond his famous reorganization of the Grand Trunk Road and the rupee coinage system. His copper paisa issues were integral to a tiered monetary framework designed to reach markets and tax-collection nodes that silver could not efficiently serve. The system was deliberate — not inherited.
His reign lasted only five years before his death from a gunpowder explosion at the siege of Kalinjar in 1545, making the entire copper series a product of one compressed, unusually productive reign.
