| Reverse description | The reverse presents a densely inscribed Arabic legend filling the entire field, struck on an irregular flan with characteristic Bijapur Sultanate calligraphic style. The inscription, identifying the Kanara Noor mint, is arranged in multiple lines in a flowing cursive script, with letters showing the bold, somewhat angular quality typical of provincial hammered coinage of the Adil Shahi dynasty. The flan edges are irregular and show typical hammered striking characteristics with slight weakness at the periphery. Green patination and surface porosity are evident throughout the field, consistent with long burial or circulation. No additional decorative border or cartouche is visible. |
