| Obverse description | Central square cartouche containing the emperor's name and titles in Arabic script arranged in multiple registers, with Nagari legend below reading 'Sri Islam Shah'. The field outside the central square bears additional Arabic legends in the margins. The overall design is characteristic of Sur Empire hammered silver coinage, with bold, deeply struck calligraphic lettering filling the available space. The coin displays the typical irregular flan of hand-struck rupees of this period. |
