| Reverse description | Reverse field entirely filled with a multi-line Arabic Kalima and Rashidun Caliph legend in bold Naskh script, arranged in horizontal lines across the irregularly shaped flan. The upper portion bears the Shahada — 'La ilaha ill-Allah, Muhammad rasul Allah' — while the lower lines record the names of the four Rightly Guided Caliphs: Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali. The whole is enclosed within a beaded or rope-pattern inner circle, consistent with the epigraphic style of Bengal Sultanate silver tankas of the early sixteenth century. |
