| Obverse description | Aniconographic field entirely occupied by a two-line Arabic legend in bold, raised Naskh script reading 'Muhammad bin Tughluq Shah', the sultan's regnal name and title. The lettering is deeply struck and fills the flan, with individual characters showing characteristic Tughlaq-period calligraphic style. The coin is struck on an irregular, roughly circular copper flan with a raised rim forming an uneven border around the inscribed field. The surface retains a dark patina with areas of green cuprite, typical of buried Delhi Sultanate copper coinage of this period. |
