| Reverse description | Reverse field exhibits similarly crude hammered workmanship with stylized Arabic letterforms distributed across the flan in horizontal registers. A central annulet device is visible in the upper portion of the field, mirroring the obverse composition. The degenerate script retains traces of the ruler's name or Quranic formulae consistent with Qanhari damma coinage attributed to Muhammad ibn Ghazan. The irregular flan shape and flat, worn relief are characteristic of this small fractional denomination struck in the Sindhi tradition. |
