| Obverse description | Hammered silver tanka of irregular round flan bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in bold Naskh script occupying the entire field. The inscription reads the royal titles and name of Sultan Jalal ud-Din Muhammad Shah, proclaiming him 'Sultan, Helper of Islam and the Muslims, may his reign be perpetual.' The legend is set within the coin's field without a formal border, consistent with Bengal Sultanate hammered coinage practice. The die-struck lettering shows characteristic vertical striations from the hammering process, with natural flan irregularities visible at the edges. Surface patination with areas of green cuprite is present. |
