| Reverse description | Epigraphic field dominated by bold Arabic script, with the Shahada (Islamic profession of faith) prominently rendered in the central zone: 'La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad rasul Allah'. The name and titles of Zahir al-Din Muhammad Babur, Sultan of Ferghana and later ruler of Herat and Kabul, appear in the surrounding legend. The die is applied to an irregularly shaped hammered flan consistent with early sixteenth-century Khurasani mint production, and the coin bears evidence of a countermark affirming Babur's authority. The field shows characteristic flat striking with slight weakness at the periphery. |
