| Obverse description | The obverse field is entirely occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend in bold Naskh script, arranged in two registers separated by a horizontal line. The legend reads 'Ibrahim Shah al-Sultani khulidat mamlakatahu' (Ibrahim Shah the Sultan, may his kingdom endure), invoking a prayer for the perpetuity of the sultan's reign. The lettering is deeply struck in high relief, characteristic of the hammered billon coinage of the Jaunpur Sultanate. The flan is irregular and slightly concave, with the inscription filling the available field to the rim. |
