| Beschrijving voorzijde | Hammered silver tanka bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in bold naskh script occupying the entire field, arranged in four horizontal registers. The inscription reads the royal titles and name of Sultan Sikandar Shah, son of the Sultan, rendered as 'Abu al-Mujahid Sikandar Shah al-Sultan ibn al-Sultan.' The lettering is bold and deeply struck, with characteristic irregular flan edges typical of Bengal Sultanate hammered coinage. No border ornament is present, and the field is plain around the legend. |

Sikandar Shah ruled the Sultanate of Bengal for over three decades following the death of his father Ilyas Shah, consolidating a dynasty that had broken decisively from the Delhi Sultanate in the 1340s. His reign was long enough to produce considerable die variation across the tanka series, and Goron & Goenka document at least three distinct reference points for this type alone. Bengal's silver at this period was largely sustained by trade through the Ganges delta — one of the most active commercial corridors in the medieval Islamic world.
