| Obverse description | Crude hammered copper flan displaying bold but irregularly struck Arabic legends in the central field, characteristic of Kashmir Sultanate coinage of the late 15th to early 16th century. The legends, attributing the issue to Sultan Fath Shah (r. AH 888-925 / 1483-1520), are arranged in multiple lines across the field with no distinct border. The die work is typical of the Kaserah denomination, also known as the Punchashi, with strongly raised lettering and pronounced surface texture resulting from the hammering technique. Flan irregularities and rough edges are consistent with hand-struck provincial coinage of the period AH 892-923 (1487-1517). |
