Obverse description Central field occupied by a multi-line nastaliq inscription arranged in two or three registers, boldly struck and exhibiting the characteristic flowing calligraphic style of the period. The legend, partially obscured by surface porosity and die wear inherent to hammered copper coinage, records the name or title of the issuing authority. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with a rough, pitted surface typical of base-metal Shaybanid provincial issues. No decorative border or frame is discernible around the inscription field.
