| Obverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Arabic calligraphic legend in the characteristic Bengal Sultanate style, reading: al-sultan bin al-sultan nasir al-dunya wa'l-din abu'l-muzaffar, proclaiming the royal titles and epithet of Sultan Nasir al-din Nusrat Shah. The inscription is disposed in horizontal registers across the flan without a defined border, typical of hammered Bengal tanka coinage of the early sixteenth century. The die-engraving is bold and angular, consistent with the administrative mint practices of the Husain Shahi dynasty. |
