| Obverse description | Hammered copper flan bearing a bold multi-line Arabic legend in raised relief, divided horizontally by a central line across the field. The upper register contains the ruler's name and titles in cursive Naskh-influenced script, while the lower register carries additional elements of the royal titulature. The lettering is deeply struck with characteristic Gujarat Sultanate calligraphic style, filling the field to the irregular edge. Surface retains original copper-brown patina with areas of dark encrustation. |
