| Reverse description | The reverse is fully inscribed in Arabic script arranged in multiple lines across the field, bearing the legend proclaiming the coin's denomination and the sultan's title: 'Muhr shud tankah panchah gani dar rozgar bandah amidvar Muhammad Tughluq' (Sealed as a tanka of fifty ganis, in the reign of the slave hopeful of divine mercy, Muhammad Tughluq). The bold hammered lettering in Naskh script fills the entire flan with no border or decorative elements, consistent with the utilitarian bronze coinage of the Tughluq dynasty. |
