| Reverse description | Central square frame enclosing the Islamic declaration of faith (Shahada): 'La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad rasul Allah' (There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the messenger of Allah), rendered in bold raised Arabic script. The marginal legend surrounding the central square contains the names of the four Rightly Guided Caliphs (Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali), a common decorative and devotional feature of Bengal Sultanate silver tankas. The image shows the Shahada prominently arranged within the inner square with clear, deeply struck lettering. No mint name appears on this issue, classifying it as a mintless type. |
