| Obverse description | Central field entirely occupied by a multi-line Arabic inscription in Naskh script, presenting the royal titles and name of Sultan Nasir al-Din Nusrat Shah. The legend is arranged in horizontal lines across the coin's face, with the text filling the flan to its borders. A dotted or beaded border frames the inscription along the coin's periphery. The hammered fabric results in a slightly irregular surface typical of Bengal Sultanate coinage of this period. |

The hammered technique imparts the characteristic irregular outline and uneven surface relief typical of Bengal Sultanate silver tankas. |
