| Obverse description | Hammered billon flan bearing three horizontal lines of Arabic legend in the field, reading the sultan's name and mint of issue. The inscription, struck in a bold Naskh-style Arabic script, reads 'Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar / Struck in Malé,' arranged across the full diameter of the coin. The legends are contained within linear borders top and bottom, dividing the field into distinct registers. The overall design is purely epigraphic, with no figurative elements, consistent with Islamic numismatic convention. The coin shows typical characteristics of Maldivian hammered coinage, with an irregular flan and patchy billon surfaces. |
