Reverse description Reverse field displays a multi-line Arabic inscription in Naskh script, arranged across two registers separated by a horizontal line. The upper portion bears the kalima or regnal epithet, while the lower register contains additional titulature or mint/date information typical of Gujarat Sultanate copper issues. The script is boldly cut but shows softness of detail due to the hammered technique and flan irregularity. The flan edge exhibits a rough, uneven profile consistent with hand-cut planchet preparation. Green cuprite patina covers much of the surface.
