Obverse description Hammered copper flan bearing bold Arabic script legend distributed across the field, divided by a horizontal line separating the inscription into upper and lower registers. The lettering, rendered in a characteristic Sultanate calligraphic style, occupies the majority of the coin's surface. The flan is irregular and thick, typical of the hand-struck copper coinage of the Gujarat Sultanate. Patination is a rich olive-green with brown undertones consistent with long burial or extended circulation.
