| Reverse description | Hammered copper reverse bearing a multi-line Arabic legend distributed across the field in bold, rudimentary Naskh script, naming the sultan and his lineage. The inscription occupies the full coin face, with individual letter forms showing the characteristic crudeness of Bahmani provincial die-cutting. A simple linear border or partial pellet arrangement frames the legend on the periphery, visible on portions of the surviving flan edge. The overall presentation is consistent with small-denomination copper coinage of the Bahmani Sultanate, where calligraphic fidelity is subordinate to functional legibility. |
