| Obverse description | The central field displays the Kalima Shahada — the Islamic declaration of faith — rendered in bold Arabic calligraphy in the characteristic Suri style, enclosed within a linear circle. The marginal legend surrounding the inner circle records the names of the four Rightly Guided Caliphs (Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali), accompanied by the honorific epithet al-Sultan ul-Adil (the Just Sultan). The inscriptions are executed with the angular, confident calligraphic quality typical of Sur Dynasty coinage, with the legends filling the broad, flat flan. No mint mark or pictorial device appears on this face. |
