| Reverse description | Continuation of the royal Arabic legend in Naskh script, arranged in multiple registers within an ornate arabesque foliate border identical in style to the obverse. The inscription completes the full titulature of Sultan Nasir al-Din Nusrat Shah along with the mint designation Husainabad (Dar al-Zarb Husainabad). The hammered flan exhibits characteristic irregular roundness typical of Bengal Sultanate silver tankas of this period. The calligraphy fills the entire field with no additional decorative devices or symbols. |
