| Obverse description | Within a shallow circular boundary, a bold Arabic inscription in Kufic script occupying the central field, presenting the honorific title of the ruling Amir. The legends are crudely rendered in the characteristic style of Sindhi hammered coinage, with angular letter forms typical of the regional Qandhari tradition. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hand-cut blanks of the period. Parts of the inscription are partially off-flan due to the small and irregular planchet. |
