| Obverse description | Struck in bold relief on an irregular silver flan, the obverse presents a three-line Arabic kalima inscription arranged within a plain square or rectangular central field: 'La ilaha illa Allah / Muhammad rasul Allah / al-Sultan.' The bold Naskh script characters are deeply struck and occupy the full width of the field. A plain linear border surrounds the central inscription area, with the flan edges left undecorated, consistent with the hammered coinage tradition of the Bengal Sultanate. |
