| Obverse description | The obverse bears the Kalima (Islamic declaration of faith) in bold naskh/nastaliq Arabic script across the central field, reading 'La ilaha illa Allah Muhammad rasul Allah' (There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the messenger of Allah). Below, a second line names the four Rightly Guided Caliphs: Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali. The legends fill the entire circular field without a border, in the characteristic Mughal hammered style. This particular example shows a centrally pierced hole, a common post-mint alteration indicating use as jewelry or adornment. |
