| Reverse description | The reverse field bears a two-line Arabic and Persian legend in raised Naskh script, reading 'Adl Hasht Gani' (meaning 'Just Eight Gani'), denoting both the denomination and affirming the sultan's quality of justice. The bold, deeply cut lettering fills the flan in a manner consistent with other Tughlaq-period copper issues, with the word 'Adl' (justice) prominently placed in the upper register. A raised, irregular rim encircles the inscribed field, and scattered pellet ornaments are visible between the letterforms. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with a warm brown copper surface patinated with areas of dark oxidation. |
