| Reverse description | Central field displaying a three-line Arabic inscription in naskh script proclaiming the ruler's titles and name within a plain border. The legend reads 'al-Sultan al-A'zam / Ali Shah / khallada Allah mulkahu', identifying the issuing ruler Alishah II with his royal titulature and a pious invocation for the perpetuity of his reign. The strike is characteristic of hammered silver coinage of the region, with some weakness at the irregular coin edges. |
