Reverse description Reverse of this hammered copper falus displaying a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in horizontal registers across the field, consistent with standard Gujarat Sultanate epigraphic coinage practice. The lettering is bold and deeply struck into the irregular flan, with individual characters showing characteristic late-medieval Indian Islamic calligraphic style. The surface retains areas of green and brown patination, and the irregular flan edge is visible around the periphery. No additional decorative elements, borders, or symbols are present.
