| Obverse description | Square flan with Arabic legends distributed across the field in four registers. The royal title and name of the sultan are inscribed in bold Naskh script reading 'Al-Sultan al-A'zam Zain al-'Abidin', with the frozen AH date 842 incorporated into the legend. The script is boldly struck with characteristically irregular letter forms typical of hammered Kashmir coinage of the fifteenth century. |
