Obverse description Stylized equestrian figure of a horseman advancing to the right, rendered in a schematic Indo-Muslim style characteristic of early Delhi Sultanate coinage. The rider is depicted with minimal detail in keeping with the hammered billon jital tradition. A Nagari legend encircles the central device, reading 'Sri Hamirah,' a Sanskritized honorific title adapted from the Arabic 'Amir.' The design continues the Bull and Horseman typology inherited from earlier Ghorid coinage of the region.
