| Obverse description | Entirely epigraphic field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in relief, struck on an irregularly shaped flan typical of hammered Bengal Sultanate coinage. The inscription proclaims the sultan's victorious titles, citing his conquests over Kamrup, Kamta, and Orissa (Jajnagar). The bold Naskh script fills the field to the margins, with no ornamental border, reflecting the austere calligraphic tradition of late Bengal Sultanate tanka coinage. |
