| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse field is entirely filled with a continuation of the royal Arabic legend in the same bold calligraphic style as the obverse, the inscription flowing across the flan in multiple horizontal registers. The mint name Fathabad appears within the legend field, identifying the place of issue. The flan is irregular in outline with slightly uneven surfaces, consistent with the hammered production technique of Bengal Sultanate coinage. No decorative border or geometric framework is present, the inscription alone occupying the entire reverse field. |

Nusrat Shah ruled Bengal from 1519 to 1532, continuing the Husain Shahi dynasty founded by his father Alauddin Husain Shah — arguably the most celebrated period of the independent Sultanate. The Fathabad mint, situated in the Faridpur region near a major confluence of the Ganges delta, was one of several active provincial mints operating under Nusrat's prolific output. His reign saw considerable building activity and patronage of Bengali literature, funded in part by Bengal's commanding position over the eastern trade routes.
GG#B810 places this among the catalogued Goron-Goenka types for Husain Shahi coinage. Fathabad-mint issues are less frequently encountered than those from Husainabad or Satgaon.
