| Obverse description | Central field features the royal tughra or title inscription 'Al-Ghazi' above the 'Shamsi' solar calendar date, all partially enclosed within a foliate wreath rendered in relief. The Arabic legends are arranged in a formal calligraphic style characteristic of early 20th-century Afghan coinage under Amir Amanullah Khan. |

| Reverse description | A stylized mosque façade is depicted at the center, surmounted by an eight-pointed star, with two crossed swords beneath the mosque symbolizing royal authority. The entire central device is contained within a beaded or segmented geometric frame and surrounded by a wreath of foliate branches, tied at the base. The design reflects the iconographic conventions of Afghan state coinage under Amanullah Khan, combining religious and martial symbolism. |
