| Reverse description | The reverse field contains a multi-line Arabic legend in Naskh script, recording the sultan's lineage and a pious invocation, along with the mint name Husainabad and the regnal year '89.' The inscription reads 'Ibn Sayyid Ashraf Husain, Khallada Allahu Mulkahu wa Sultanahu, Husainabad,' meaning 'Son of Sayyid Ashraf Husain, May Allah perpetuate his Reign and his Sultanate.' The mint name Husainabad, established by Husain Shah himself, appears prominently as part of the reverse legend. A fixed date notation '89' is incorporated within the inscription field, a common practice on Bengal Sultanate tankās of this reign. The overall design follows the established epigraphic convention of the Bengal Sultanate, with no decorative border beyond a simple linear rim. |
