| Reverse description | Central square enclosing the Shahada ('There is no god but God, and Muhammad is the Messenger of God') in bold naskh Arabic script. The marginal legend surrounding the central square contains the names of the four Rightly-Guided Caliphs — Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali — arranged in the four quadrants of the border, a hallmark of Bengal Sultanate tanka coinage. The die work is robust and the script deeply struck, consistent with hammered silver issues of this period. |
