| Obverse description | Struck in bold hammered style, the obverse bears a multi-line Arabic legend in Naskh script filling the entire field, recording the ruler's name and titles. The inscription is arranged in horizontal registers across the flan, with the regnal year appearing prominently within the legend. The surfaces exhibit characteristic irregularity of hand-struck medieval Indian coinage, with natural flan fissures and patchy green cuprite patina. The legends are deeply incuse and largely legible despite the coin's thick, irregular fabric. |
