| Obverse description | Hammered copper flan bearing a multi-line Arabic legend densely arranged across the field, characteristic of Sur Empire coinage. The inscription, rendered in bold Naskh script, occupies the entire face with no border or decorative elements. The calligraphy is deeply struck though irregular in execution, typical of hand-hammered provincial issues. The lower portion of the field features a prominent horizontal inscription panel. Surface shows natural copper patina with traces of green oxidation consistent with burial or long circulation. |
