Reverse description The reverse presents a similarly epigraphic composition, with bold Persian-script legends arranged in multiple registers across the field, separated by a horizontal linear division. The upper register displays the Hijri regnal or mint date, with the numerals clearly visible in the field. The lower register carries additional titulature and the mint name, the whole filling the flan in the characteristic dense calligraphic style of Gujarat sultanate gold tankas. No figural or geometric ornament is present beyond the structural dividing lines.
