| Obverse description | Bold Arabic inscription in Naskh script occupying the upper field, presenting the name of the ruling sultan Murtaza II. A horizontal line divides the flan, with additional calligraphic text in the lower field denoting the mint name. The legends are rendered in raised relief characteristic of hammered copper coinage of the Deccan sultanates, with irregular flan edges typical of the period. |

| Reverse description | Arabic inscriptions arranged in two registers separated by a horizontal line across the coin's field. The upper register bears bold Naskh calligraphy, while the lower register contains additional text identifying the regnal or denominational information. The die work is typical of Ahmadnagar Sultanate copper coinage, showing strong relief against a plain field, with characteristic surface patination and verde antique deposits consistent with buried copper issues of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. |
