Obverse description Central field depicts an equestrian figure of the sultan in profile facing right, seated on a walking horse and holding a mace or sceptre aloft in the right hand; the rider wears a crown or diadem. The horse and rider are rendered in a bold, stylised manner characteristic of early Indo-Islamic hammered coinage. A circular border encloses the equestrian motif, with a continuous Arabic marginal legend surrounding the central device, reading the sultan's full titulature.
