| Obverse description | Crude hammered design depicting a stylized animal figure, likely a bull or lion, facing left within an irregular flan. The device is rendered in a highly schematic and provincial style characteristic of late Bahmani copper coinage, with minimal detail in the field surrounding the central motif. |

| 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.
