| Obverse description | Irregularly struck hammered bronze flan bearing a bold Arabic legend in flowing naskh script filling the field, recording the name and title of the reigning Sultan. The inscription is disposed across multiple lines within the roughly circular field, with characteristic uneven relief typical of hand-struck Maldivian coinage. The surface shows natural casting and striking irregularities consistent with traditional artisanal mint production at Malé. |
