| Reverse description | The reverse field is occupied entirely by a multi-line Arabic inscription in Naskh script arranged in horizontal registers, invoking the Abbasid Caliph with the formula 'Al-Khalifa Amir Al-Momenin Khuldat Khilafatahu'. The regnal or mint year, rendered in Eastern Arabic numerals, appears within or adjacent to the main legend field. The flan is irregular in outline and shows typical surface roughness consistent with hammered copper coinage of the Sharqi sultans of Jaunpur. No decorative border or cartouche frames the inscription. The overall style reflects the epigraphic traditions of the Delhi Sultanate and its successor states in northern India during the fifteenth century. |
