| Beschrijving voorzijde | Irregularly shaped hammered billon flan bearing a multi-line Arabic legend distributed across the field in the characteristic Tughra script style of the early Tughluq sultanate. The legend reads 'al-sultan al-ghazi ghiyath al-dunya wa'l-din', conferring upon the ruler the honorific titles of Sultan, Ghazi (warrior of the faith), and Ghiyath al-Dunya wa'l-Din (Succor of the World and the Faith). The inscription is arranged in three horizontal registers filling the entire die area, with the outermost portion of the legend running along the periphery of the flan. The surfaces show characteristic die wear and metal flow consistent with hand-struck hammered coinage of the Delhi Sultanate period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Irregularly shaped hammered billon flan bearing a multi-line Arabic legend across the field, reading 'abu'l-muzaffar tughluq shah al-sultan', identifying the ruler by his laqab Abu'l-Muzaffar (Father of the Victorious) and his regnal name Tughluq Shah al-Sultan. The inscription is distributed in horizontal registers covering the full die area, with residual legend elements visible at the flan periphery. Decorative pellet or dot separators are interspersed between elements of the inscription, a common feature of Tughluq-period coinage. The coin exhibits the rough, uneven surface texture and irregular outline typical of hand-struck Delhi Sultanate issues of this era. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq founded the Tughluq dynasty after overthrowing the last Khilji sultan in 1320, but billon coinage of this type was already circulating before he seized power — the denomination predates his reign and continued largely unchanged through the transition. The Tughluq administration inherited and maintained the fractional billon structure of the Delhi monetary system rather than immediately imposing a new coinage identity, which makes precise attribution to specific regnal years within this window genuinely difficult.
