| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in horizontal registers across the full field of the coin, executed in a bold Naskh or square Kufic script characteristic of Gujarat Sultanate copper issues. The legend contains the ruler's name and titles, including references to Sultan Mahmud Shah, along with formulaic epithets asserting his sovereignty. The flan edges are irregular and slightly ragged, typical of the hammered production technique employed at Gujarat mints during this period. Green copper patina covers much of the surface, attesting to age and burial. |
