| Beschrijving voorzijde | Entirely epigraphic design executed in bold Naskh-style Arabic script, struck on an irregularly shaped hammered flan. The field bears a multi-line royal titulature reading 'al-Sultan al-Adil Ala al-Dunya wa al-Din Abu al-Muzaffar', occupying the full coin face. The legends are arranged in horizontal registers across the flan, with the script displaying the characteristic bold strokes of Bengal Sultanate coinage. The coin surface shows the typical uneven strike and flan irregularities associated with hand-hammered medieval Islamic coinage of the Bengal Sultanate. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ala al-Din Husain Shah ruled Bengal for an unusually long stretch by sultanate standards — over two decades — and is regarded by Bengali historians as one of the most capable rulers the region produced before Mughal absorption. He expanded the sultanate to its greatest territorial extent, briefly controlling parts of Assam and Orissa, and his court became a notable center of Bengali literary production. The silver tanka series issued across his reign shows considerable variation in die workmanship, reflecting output from multiple minting centers operating simultaneously.
