| Obverse description | Crudely struck hammered flan bearing a multi-line Arabic legend arranged in horizontal bands within a rectilinear field, characteristic of the Qanhari Damma coinage of Sind. The inscriptions, executed in an angular Kufic script, occupy the entirety of the die area with no pictorial motif. The fabric is irregular and the planchet exhibits the characteristic ragged edges typical of hand-cut silver flans of this regional issue. The relief is bold and uneven, reflecting the rudimentary minting technique employed in the Sindhi Qanhari tradition. |
