| Reverse description | Entire reverse field filled with multi-line Arabic calligraphic legend in Naskh script, proclaiming the sultan's religious authority and legitimacy as deputy of the Abbasid Caliph. The inscription reads 'al-khalifat amir al-mu'minin khulidat khilafatuhu' (the caliph, commander of the faithful, may his caliphate endure), a formula standard on Firuz Shah Tughluq's billon issues. Letters are boldly engraved and occupy the full flan with no decorative borders or devices. The reverse, like the obverse, is devoid of figural imagery in conformity with Islamic numismatic convention. Minor strike weakness and planchet irregularity are characteristic of the hammered billon tankas of this reign. |
