| Reverse description | Epigraphic reverse featuring a central circular medallion containing a multi-line Arabic inscription, surrounded by a circular border and a marginal legend running around the outer rim. The central inscription reads 'Sikandar al-Thani' (the Second Alexander), a royal title of Shams al-Din Ilyas Shah, rendered in naskh Arabic script. The marginal border carries additional calligraphic text identifying the mint and possibly the regnal year. The strike is characteristic of hammered Bengal Sultanate coinage, with slightly uneven surfaces and bold lettering filling the available field. |
