| Reverse description | Irregular square flan with a three-line Persian mint and issue legend contained within a plain rectangular border. The inscription reads 'Zarb / Dar al-Saltanat / Golkonda', indicating the coin was struck at the royal mint of Golkonda, the seat of the Qutb Shahi sultanate. The naskh lettering is boldly rendered but shows the characteristic irregularity of hammered copper production. The flan surface exhibits pronounced die-shift and edge cracking consistent with the informal striking technique employed for low-denomination copper issues. Heavy brown and green patination is present throughout the field. |
