| Obverse description | Two lines of bold Arabic legend in the field, arranged horizontally across the flan in a characteristic Gujarat Sultanate style. The inscription occupies virtually the entire coin surface, executed in a stylised, angular script typical of hammered copper coinage of the period. The coin exhibits a thick flan with an irregular rounded edge and shows green patination consistent with aged copper. The lettering is deeply struck and raised in relief against a flat field. |
