| Reverse description | The reverse displays a two-line Arabic inscription in raised Naskh script occupying the full field, reading 'Al-Sultan al-A'zam' (The Most Exalted Sultan), a standard honorific title employed by the Gujarati sultans. The script is bold and deeply impressed into the flan, typical of the hammered coinage produced at the Ahmedabad mint during the mid-fifteenth century. The flan exhibits the same irregular, roughly rounded form as the obverse, with a green and brown patina. The legend may appear partially off-flan on some examples due to the hand-struck nature of production. |
