| Obverse description | Hammered copper flan bearing bold Arabic script in the Naskh style filling the field. The legend, reading in multiple lines, bears the epithet or regnal title of Sultan Ahmad I of the Bahmani Sultanate. The irregular flan displays typical characteristics of medieval Indian hammered coinage, with the inscription occupying virtually the entire obverse field within a plain border. |

| Reverse description | Reverse field filled with multiple lines of Arabic Naskh script bearing the sultan's titles and regnal formula, consistent with Bahmani Sultanate coinage of the early 15th century. A horizontal line divides the field, with the AH date numeral appearing in the lower register. The inscription references the sultan's authority and Islamic titles, the whole contained within the roughly circular, irregular flan typical of hammered issues of this period. |
