| Reverse description | Entirely epigraphic reverse bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in bold relief across the hammered silver flan, continuing the royal titulature of Sultan Husain Shah. The inscription identifies the ruler by his full regnal name and lineage, invoking a pious benediction for the perpetuity of his reign and sovereignty. The Naskh script is deeply struck and occupies the full field, consistent with the epigraphic conventions of Bengal Sultanate tanka issues of the late fifteenth century. |
