| Obverse script | Arabic |
| Obverse lettering | محمد شاه بن همایون شاه السلطان |
| Reverse description | Reverse field bearing a three-line Arabic inscription in cursive script, reading 'al-A'zam / al-Sultan / Muhammad', identifying the ruler by his regnal title 'the Greatest Sultan Muhammad'. The script is loosely formed and characteristic of the debased calligraphic style common to Bahmani copper fractional coinage of the later fifteenth century. The flan is thick and irregular, with a somewhat convex surface, and the strike is uneven, leaving portions of the legend weakly impressed. No mint name or date appears on this face. The overall presentation is consistent with other known specimens of this half-gani type. |
