| Reverse description | Central field displays a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in horizontal bands within a square cartouche, a layout characteristic of Sur dynasty copper issues struck at the Chunar mint. The legend, rendered in a robust Naskh script, includes the ruler's name Sher Shah and likely references the mint name and regnal year. A marginal legend in Arabic script surrounds the central square panel, partially legible along the right border. The lower portion of the field shows what appears to be a date inscription in Arabic-Indic numerals. The strike is bold though uneven, with typical die wear and flan irregularity consistent with hammered provincial coinage. |
