Reverse description Central field bears a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged within a roughly circular border, typical of late Bahmani sultanate copper issues. The legend is crudely struck and partially legible due to the irregularity of the flan, with cursive Arabic script filling the available space in a dense, compressed arrangement.

Additional information

Kalimullah Shah's reign lasted roughly two years before the Bahmani Sultanate effectively ceased to function as a unified polity — he was the last sultan in name only, wielding no real authority while the Deccan successor states had already carved the kingdom into independent fragments. Copper fractions from this terminal phase are genuinely scarce, not because mintages were controlled but because administrative collapse meant production was irregular and geographically inconsistent.
