| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Zain al-'Abidin ruled Kashmir from roughly 1420 to 1470 and stands apart from nearly every other sultan of the region for his deliberate policy of religious tolerance — he reversed the temple destructions of his predecessors, reinstated Hindu court officials, and patronized Sanskrit scholarship alongside Persian. The sasnu was Kashmir's indigenous silver denomination, distinct from the broader Sultanate coinage traditions of the Delhi sphere.
GG#K9 and DR#2797 place this piece within a well-documented but not abundant type. Kashmir silver of this reign circulated in a mountain economy where overland trade with Central Asia and the Punjab moved through a handful of high passes, limiting the monetary reach of any single issue.
