Reverse description Irregular flan bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in the field, rendered in a compressed cursive Naskh hand characteristic of small Tughluq billon fractions. The inscription references the kunya and name associated with the reigning caliph acknowledged by the Sultanate, occupying the full available field without border or ornamental device. The die-striking is uneven, with areas of weak relief owing to the limitations of the hand-hammered technique and the small, thick flan. The surface displays a patinated billon tone with localized corrosion and wear consistent with extended circulation.
