| Reverse description | The reverse presents an additional multi-line Arabic inscription in Naskh script, arranged in horizontal registers across the entire field, identifying the mint city of Banaras (Varanasi) and the regnal year. The legend occupies the full flan in the characteristic Suri dynastic style, with bold, deeply struck characters. A plain border encircles the inscription field. The overall die work is consistent with provincial hammered coinage of the Sur Empire. |
