Obverse description Central square containing a multi-line Arabic inscription reading 'Sultan Jalal al-Din bin Muhammad Shah Ghazi, may God perpetuate his reign,' rendered in bold naskh script. The AH regnal date appears to the left of the central square, while the mint name Satgaon is inscribed at the bottom. The surrounding field bears marginal legends typical of Bengal Sultanate coinage. The overall layout follows the standard square-within-circle format characteristic of late Bengal Sultanate silver tankas.
