| Obverse description | Compact, irregularly-shaped hammered silver flan bearing a highly stylised Arabic legend in the field, arranged in a compressed radial composition characteristic of the Qanhari damma series. The inscription, derived from the shahada, is rendered in a schematic, almost cursive hand with individual letterforms reduced to angular and hook-shaped strokes. A plain linear border encircles the legend. The overall die workmanship reflects the provincial Sindhi style, with shallow relief and considerable wear typical of small-denomination circulation pieces. |
