| Reverse description | Square hammered flan with a two-line Arabic legend occupying the central field. The inscription reads 'al-Sultan al-A'zam / Abu al-Fath' in boldly struck Naskh-style script, conveying the royal titles 'The Supreme Sultan, Father of Victory.' The lettering is broadly spaced across the square flan, with characteristic diacritical marks and ligatures typical of Malwa Sultanate coinage. The surface shows the irregular strike and flow lines common to billon issues of this series. |
