| Obverse description | Undated Arabic inscription filling the field across multiple lines, bearing the honorific title and name 'Nasir' as part of the ruler's laqab. The script is executed in a bold, informal Naskh style characteristic of hammered copper coinage of the Gujarat Sultanate. The legends are arranged in horizontal registers across the coin's face, with no border or decorative frame. The copper surface shows a green patina consistent with age and circulation. |
