| Beschrijving voorzijde | Irregularly shaped hammered copper flan bearing bold Arabic calligraphic legend in the field, typical of the Sur dynasty coinage style. The inscription is rendered in fluid Naskh or Tughra-influenced script, occupying the majority of the coin's surface. The lettering is deeply struck with characteristic medieval Indo-Muslim hand-engraved die work. No border or geometric framework is present, with the legend filling the field to its edges. |

Islam Shah succeeded his father Sher Shah Sur in 1545 and ruled until 1554, but the attribution of this paisa to the 1539–1545 window places it within Sher Shah's own reign — a period when the Sur administration undertook one of the most systematic currency reforms in medieval Indian history, standardizing copper, silver, and gold denominations across a short-lived but administratively ambitious empire. The copper dam and its fractions were deliberately integrated into a tri-metallic ratio system that the Mughals later inherited almost intact.
