| Reverse description | The reverse of this hammered silver tanka displays a concentric design comprising a circular inner legend enclosed within a beaded or linear border, surrounded by a peripheral outer legend running along the circumference of the coin. The inner field contains a multi-line Arabic inscription invoking the Caliph and the Commander of the Faithful, rendered in bold Naskh-style calligraphy. The outer marginal legend, partially visible due to the irregular flan, carries additional titles and mint or date formulae. The overall layout reflects the established epigraphic tradition of Bengal Sultanate coinage, with no figural imagery, consistent with Islamic numismatic convention. |
