| Obverse description | Within a beaded circle, the Arabic legend 'Al-Sultan al-A'zam' (The Supreme Sultan) is arranged in the field, accompanied by a six-pointed star positioned both above and below the central inscription. The lettering is bold and characteristic of late Ghaznavid hammered coinage, with the surrounding dotted border serving as the primary decorative frame. The irregular flan and variable strike are typical of issues from the Lahore mint during this period. |
