| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic legend in Naskh script, likely conveying the ruler's name and titles, consistent with Sur Empire copper paisa coinage of Muhammad Adil Shah Suri. The inscription fills the central field across several registers, with the characteristic bold, somewhat roughly executed strokes typical of hammered copper issues of this period. The flan is irregular and slightly broader than uniform, with visible die rust and surface patina. Border details are largely indistinct due to the crude striking technique. |
