| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse field bears a multi-line Arabic legend arranged in horizontal registers across the flan, reading 'Fi zaman al-mominin Amir Khalidat Khilafatahu' (In the time of the Commander of the Faithful, may his Caliphate endure), invoking the Abbasid Caliph's authority. The inscription is executed in a bold, angular script characteristic of late Delhi Sultanate coinage. A regnal year, recorded as 918 AH (1513 CE), appears within the legend. The die engraving is typical of the period's hammered billon issues, with slightly uneven strike resulting in partial legend visibility at the periphery. No figurative imagery is present, the design being entirely epigraphic in the Sultanate tradition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sikander Lodi ruled the Delhi Sultanate for nearly three decades, pushing the empire's effective reach into the eastern reaches of the Doab and relocating the capital from Delhi to Agra in 1504 — a strategic reorientation toward the contested Rajput frontier. His reign saw genuine administrative consolidation, including currency reform aimed at standardizing the debased billon issues that had proliferated under his father Bahlul.
The billon content of these tankas varies noticeably across the emission period, reflecting fluctuating silver availability rather than deliberate debasement policy.
