| Reverse description | The reverse presents a multi-line Arabic epigraphic legend filling the field without a central cartouche, arranged in horizontal registers across the coin's face. The legend reads the royal epithet 'Adl al-Sultan Husayn Bahadur, rendered in bold, deeply incised Arabic script in a style consistent with Timurid chancellery conventions of the early sixteenth century. The flan edges are ragged and slightly irregular, a natural consequence of the hand-hammered striking technique. The field is flat and undecorated, with no ornamental borders or devices, the entire composition devoted to the royal and honorific titulature. The silver surface displays a dark patina with areas of natural wear consistent with circulation use. |
