| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field dominated by a group of bold vertical strokes arranged upright, rendered in the stylized Bijapur hammered tradition. Arabic legend occupying the field reads 'gulam-i-murtaza' (slave of Murtaza), executed in a broad, angular hand characteristic of Deccan Sultanate copper coinage. The inscription is enclosed within a scalloped inner border composed of small pellets following the coin's irregular flan. The overall design is bold and primitive in execution, consistent with the low-denomination copper issues of Ibrahim Adil Shah II's reign. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ibrahim Adil Shah II ruled Bijapur for nearly half a century, surviving the collapse of the Deccan Sultanate coalition after Talikota and navigating constant Mughal pressure from the north. His reign saw Bijapur reach its greatest territorial extent, absorbing Ahmadnagar piecemeal through the early seventeenth century. Fractional copper issues from this period served local bazaar trade in a region where silver was frequently drained upward into Mughal tribute demands.
The two-thirds falus denomination is unusual — most Deccani sultanates anchored their copper systems to the whole falus or its half.
