| Obverse description | The obverse displays a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged within the central field, giving the name and titles of the issuing ruler. The Arabic legend reads 'Sultan Ghalib bin Awadh al-Qu'aiti' in three lines, identifying the sovereign authority. Below the Arabic text, a Latin transliteration legend reads 'H.H. SULTAN NAWAZ JUNG BAHADOOR', running along the lower portion of the field. The design is purely epigraphic, with no figurative elements, consistent with Islamic numismatic tradition. A plain raised rim borders the inscribed field. |
