| Obverse description | Hammered silver tanka with densely packed Arabic inscriptions filling the entire field in multiple lines, executed in a bold Naskh-style script characteristic of late Delhi Sultanate coinage. The legends, contained within a plain circular border, include the royal titulature and the kalima profession of faith. Decorative dot ornaments are visible within the field, separating elements of the inscription. The die-struck lettering exhibits the slightly irregular, hand-engraved quality typical of medieval Indian hammered coinage. No figural imagery is present, consistent with Islamic numismatic convention. |
