| Obverse description | Hammered billon flan of irregular round form bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in the field. The inscription, executed in an angular Naskh hand typical of Jaunpur Sultanate coinage, reads the royal titulature identifying the ruler as Muhammad Shah, son of Mahmoud Shah, son of Ibrahim Shah. The lettering occupies the full field with no border or decorative frame, consistent with the austere epigraphic style of the Jaunpur mint. The coin shows typical die-stress and uneven strike characteristic of fifteenth-century hammered issues from northern India. |
