| Obverse description | Central field bears a two-line Arabic inscription in angular kufic-influenced script reading 'Mahmud Shah / ibn Muhammad Shah', denoting the ruler's name and patronymic. The lettering is boldly struck in raised relief against a flat, unadorned field. The flan is irregular and slightly rough, consistent with hammered copper coinage of the Bahmani Sultanate. No decorative border or marginal legend is present. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays a two-line Arabic legend reading 'al-Sultan / al-Bahmani', identifying the dynastic title of the issuing authority. The inscription is struck in raised relief in a bold, somewhat crude hand typical of late Bahmani copper coinage. The flan is irregularly shaped with an uneven surface, reflecting the hand-hammered production technique. No border, symbols, or additional ornamental elements are present in the field. |
