| Reverse description | Arabic legends in multiple lines covering the reverse field, typical of Sur Empire copper paisa coinage of the mid-sixteenth century. The inscription records regnal and dynastic titles without a specific mint name, consistent with the 'No Mint' classification of this type. The hammered flan exhibits irregular edges and uneven surfaces, with the legends partially weakly struck in areas due to the hand-struck production technique. Traces of green patina from copper oxidation are visible across the field. |
