| Obverse description | Irregularly shaped hammered copper flan bearing Arabic script in the upper field, divided by a horizontal line across the centre of the coin. The inscription, rendered in bold Naskh-style lettering, occupies the upper register and likely records the ruler's name or title. The surfaces show considerable die wear and casting irregularities consistent with provincial hammered coinage of the Deccan Sultanates. Patina is a mixed brown and green, typical of buried copper issues of this period. |

| Reverse description | Irregularly shaped hammered copper flan with Arabic legends distributed across the field, again divided by a horizontal line. The inscription in the reverse registers likely contains the mint name Parenda and a partial regnal or dating formula. The die is noticeably off-centre and the flan shows ragged edges, characteristic of the crude hammered technique employed at provincial Ahmadnagar mints during the late sultanate period. Green cuprite patination is visible across much of the surface. |
