| Obverse description | The obverse is entirely occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend in bold, raised Naskh script, filling the coin's irregular flan. The central field bears the royal titulature reading 'Al-Sultan al-Azam Ala al-Dunya wal-Din Abul Muzaffar Bahman Shah al-Sultan', proclaiming the sultan's sovereignty and religious dignity. The inscription is arranged in four or five horizontal registers without any framing border, characteristic of early Bahmani coinage. The lettering is deeply struck, with pronounced relief, though the irregular flan results in partial legend loss toward the edges. No figural imagery is present, consistent with the aniconic tradition of Sultanate numismatics. |
