| Obverse description | Broad, irregular flan bearing a Nagari legend in the field, arranged in multiple lines. The inscription, struck in the Devanagari script characteristic of Ghurid bull-and-horseman type derivatives, occupies the central field with bold, deeply impressed characters. The overall style reflects the Indo-Muslim transitional coinage tradition, with crude but legible lettering and a patina of green cuprite consistent with leaded copper alloy. The coin shows typical characteristics of hammered provincial coinage with uneven flan edges and slightly off-center strike. |
