Reverse description Multi-line Arabic inscription arranged within a six-foil (hexafoil) cartouche, reading the kunya and name 'Ahmad al-Abbas Abu', referencing the Abbasid Caliph's lineage and conferring religious authority upon the issuing sultan. The script is rendered in bold Naskh calligraphy consistent with hammered coinage of the Tughluq period. The area between the lobes of the hexafoil border is plain. The flan edges are irregular, as is typical of hand-struck billon tankas of the Delhi Sultanate.
