| Beschrijving keerzijde | Three-line Arabic legend occupying the central field, presenting the sultan's name and titles within a plain border. The inscription, struck in the bold and somewhat rough calligraphic style characteristic of late Bengal Sultanate hammered silver issues, reads the ruler's laqab and name. The irregular flan edges are typical of the hammered technique employed at Bengal mints of this period. Marginal inscriptions appear around the central panel, though partially off-flan on this specimen. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ala al-Din Firuz Shah II ruled Bengal for a matter of months in 1532 before being deposed and killed, making his coinage among the scarcest of the Husain Shahi dynasty's final chapter. The absence of a mint name on this tanka is not an aberration — it reflects a documented practice among certain Bengal sultans of issuing coins without mint attribution, a phenomenon that continues to complicate die-linkage studies for this reign specifically.
