| Beschrijving voorzijde | Hammered billon tanka in the Gujarat Standard type, the obverse field entirely occupied by bold Arabic calligraphic legends arranged in multiple horizontal registers across the flan. The inscription, executed in a robust Naskh-influenced script characteristic of Gujarat Sultanate coinage, fills the coin to its irregular edges with no border ornament. The lettering is deeply struck and slightly raised, displaying the dense, space-filling epigraphic style typical of mid-fifteenth century Gujarat issues. The field surface shows natural die flow and flan irregularity consistent with hand-struck production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Qutb-ud-Din Ahmad Shah II ruled Gujarat for only seven years before dying without consolidating the reforms his father Mahmud Begarha would later complete. His billon tankas reflect the monetary degradation that plagued the Sultanate's mid-fifteenth century coinage — silver content had been progressively diluted across successive reigns as the court struggled to fund military campaigns into Rajputana while maintaining the trade infrastructure that made Cambay one of the wealthiest ports on the subcontinent.
DR#2134 is a tightly defined reference in a series where die variation is substantial and attribution can hinge on a single epigraphic detail.
