| Reverse description | Central field bearing the royal name and epithet in bold Arabic characters, reading 'ali ibrahim aba bali', identifying the issuing sultan Ibrahim Adil Shah II of Bijapur. The legend is rendered in a similarly angular, deeply struck style characteristic of Deccan hammered copper coinage, with letters filling the available field. The inscription is surrounded by a scalloped border of small dots that echoes the obverse treatment, lending decorative unity to both faces of this irregular flan coin. |
