| Obverse description | The entire field is occupied by a multi-line Arabic inscription in bold relief, filling the coin from rim to rim without a border design. The legend reads the full regnal title of Sultan Muhammad Shams ad-Din Iskandar (Muhammadu Shamsuddeen III), arranged in five horizontal lines of Naskh-style Arabic script. The lettering is deeply struck with confident strokes characteristic of Heaton Mint production, set against a flat, unadorned field. No portrait or pictorial device appears; the coin relies entirely on calligraphic text as its primary design element. |
