| Obverse description | Struck in the characteristic hammered style of Delhi Sultanate billon coinage, the obverse presents a multi-line Arabic legend filling the field without decorative borders. The inscription, rendered in Naskh script, reads the royal titulature of Sultan Qutb al-Din Mubarak Shah, identifying him as 'Qutb of the World and the Faith, Abu al-Muzaffar Mubarak Shah, the Sultan.' The lettering is bold and deeply struck, though characteristic die irregularities and flan irregularities produce slight crowding at the periphery. The flat, unadorned field carries no figural elements, consistent with Islamic numismatic convention. The coin exhibits the typical rough, irregular planchet edge produced by the hand-cutting of billon blanks. |
