| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse presents the sultanic titulature of Shams al-Din Yusuf Shah arranged in multiple horizontal registers within a rectangular frame, a characteristic four-chamber layout. The Arabic legends, struck in bold relief, read the full regnal style of the sultan including his name, honorifics, and his genealogical descent from Barbak Shah and Mahmud Shah. The field exhibits the densely calligraphed naskh script typical of Bengal Sultanate coinage of the later fifteenth century. A marginal legend in Arabic script encircles the central panel, filling the outer annular field. The flan is irregular and slightly off-centre, consistent with hand-hammered production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Shams al-din Yusuf Shah ruled Bengal for roughly seven years before being deposed, a reign squeezed between the longer and better-documented tenures of his predecessors and successors in the Ilyas Shahi line. The four-chamber type represents a specific die arrangement used by the Bengal mint at Firuzabad during this period, distinguishing it from the more common single-field layout and making it a useful chronological marker for collectors working through the sultanate's coinage sequence.
